Similarly, he forged a document to make a $4,815 claim - 16 times higher - for"UV protective film for lab hood and cabinets".This was untrue because he bought a label printer and a radio for his own use, which cost around $1,000.In an unrelated case, former NUS professor Tan Kok Kiong, 54, was charged in January last year with multiple counts of forgery and cheating.
The Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau said in an earlier statement that he allegedly submitted fraudulent claims totalling more than $100,000 to NUS between 2012 and 2019. CPIB added:"He is alleged to have generated fictitious invoices for the purported purchase of products and services and submitted claims that were either inflated or for expenses that were unrelated to his research grant.
"By doing so, he is alleged to have cheated NUS' approving officers into disbursing those sums of money to him." The cases involving Tan, who used to be from NUS' Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, are still pending.
Investigation shows, the man Singaporean or foreign talent?
