SINGAPORE: A Housing and Development Board investigation officer was sentenced to 25 days in jail after informing a friend about an impending inspection of the flat where he was a tenant.
As an investigation officer with the rank of higher estate executive, Kalayarasan’s work involved conducting investigations into subletting and occupancy related infringements in HDB estates, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Thiam Jia Min. Together with five others, Damandeep was a registered tenant in the unit in question, Ms Thiam said, noting the maximum number of people allowed to stay in the unit is six.
A total of about 12 to 13 people were staying in the flat at any one point, she noted, adding that Kalayarasan was not aware of these facts at the time.Kalayarasan became friends with Damandeep after conducting two inspections at the unit where he was staying in 2017 and 2018, said Ms Thiam. “In actual fact, Damandeep made this request so that he would have sufficient time to inform the illegal subtenants to vacate the unit prior to HDB’s inspection,” the prosecutor added.
Damandeep then informed the illegal subtenants to quickly move out of the unit before the inspection, Ms Thiam noted. The police found the unit overcrowded on their two visits on Aug 24 and Sep 4 that year, with 19 and 18 occupants on each occasion respectively. That night, the accused and Mr Ong arrived at the unit for their inspection and found that no one was home.
