Quak Tiong Beng, 42-years-old, a Singaporean police staff sergeant, was sentenced yesterday (8 June) to 5 months of jail for helping a remandee intentionally pervert the course of justice.
He was on duty at the Police Cantonment Complex (PCC) lockup on 23 April 2019, when he took instructions from a remandee; Casper Ang, 32, and made a phone call to a witness; Sae Pang Yan Shuo, on his behalf.
Quak was caught red-handed when he called Sae (who was in the middle of an interview with an officer from Commercial Affairs Department), who answered the phone on speaker mode.
The CAD officer heard Quak’s instructions to Sae, and the CPIB was alerted on 30 April 2019.
The phone call was made by Quak in an area of the lock up where mobile phones were not allowed.
Quak has been suspended from service since 13 May 2019 and is due to surrender himself to the State COurts on 21 June to being serving his sentence.
