Allegations of corruption had cropped up in relation to the rental of the two bungalows by Mr K Shanmugam...
The CPIB, which reports directly to PM Lee, had conducted an investigation over slightly more than a month, speaking to the two ministers, their spouses, former and current officers from the Ministry of Law and Singapore Land Authority and NParks, and others.The CPIB’s investigation papers were submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers, which has reviewed the papers and directed that “no further action be taken as the facts do not disclose any offence”.
He had informed the ministry’s then Deputy Secretary about his plan to rent the property, and also told the Deputy Secretary to approach then-Senior Minister of State for Law Indranee Rajah in the event any matter had to be referred to the Law Minister. Given the low demand for the two properties, they were leased our through the direct tenancy process, instead of an open bidding process. This is when prospective tenants are considered by the SLA, as long as they met the stipulated financial criteria and their bid was not below the guide rent.Both ministers paid rents at fair market value, and not below market valuation, the report found.This was revised to $20,000 a month upon renewal for three years in Oct 2022.
Hence No. 26 was renewed in June 2021 for three years at $26,500 a month, while No. 31 was renewed in Oct 2022 for three years with a rent increase to $20,000 a month.
