A former Singapore Armed Forces staff sergeant was jailed for two months and ordered to pay a penalty of $800 on Monday for corruption.
According to The Straits Times, Mohammad Yani Saharawee, 33, then attached to Safti Military Institute, pleaded guilty to accepting $800 from Mr Eng Ah Guan as a reward to help his son, full-time national serviceman (NSF) Eng Boon Wei, to qualify for converting his army driving permit to a civilian driving licence.
A district court heard that Yani was a fleet sergeant major in charge of overseeing drivers, storemen, clerks, transport leaders, NSF and regulars to ensure that they carried out their responsibilities given by their transport leaders.
Sometime in August/September 2011, NSF Eng, 22, who was working as a driver, informed Yani that he wanted to drive more so that he could clock enough mileage to enable him to convert his licence from an army driving permit to a civilian driving licence.
