A principal of a top school in Singapore, along with a number of
senior civil servants, are under investigation for hiring
prostitutes from an online vice syndicate, according to local media
reports.
The public servants were implicated when Criminal Investigation
Department (CID) and the Police Intelligence Department (PID)
carried out raids against the vice syndicate in late December last
year, Shin Min reported.
A list that revealed the names of the syndicate's clients were
among the items that were seized in the island-wide raid.
A Straits Times report believed that about 80 people, including
public servants, are assisting police with their investigations in
an online vice operation.
According to the Shin Min report, these high-ranking civil
servants, including the principal, have since resigned jobs. The
civil servants came from various government departments.
According to the report, the principal lives in
an expensive condominium in the East with his family. Each unit in
the area commands a market value of at least $1 million and
residents there all drive luxury cars.
The man, aged about 30, has been married for over
10 years and has a son.
The paper's repeated attempts to speak to the principal at his
residence were either rebuffed or were unsuccessful.
Colleagues of the principal were shocked to learn that he had
quit. A teacher revealed to the paper that the principal had a
bright future ahead of him and was sad to learn that he had to
leave. The teacher had assumed that the principal was switching
professions.
A police spokesman told Shin
Min that investigations related to the online vice syndicate are
currently on-going and that it would be inappropriate to comment
further.The online vice syndicate was reported to be
well-known for their Korean girls. It was believed that the
syndicate was operating a call centre out of Bukit Timah.

This is actually the moral high horse.
Certain people can indulge in it, certain people are not
expected to.
They failed to meet other peoples' expectations.
