PUBLISHED ONMay 14, 2026 5:21 AMBYSean LerA female Chinese national accused of offering a $100 bribe to a Health Sciences Authority (HSA) officer was charged in court on Thursday (May 14).
Wang Siling, 35, is said to have offered the bribe to a HSA investigation officer in exchange for his help to refrain from taking enforcement action against her and her husband. She is on a social visit pass to Singapore.
They had allegedly imported unregistered medical devices for exhibition purposes at Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre, while on a social visit pass here.
The offence allegedly took place on April 22 this year.
In a news release on Thursday, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) said the HSA officer rejected the bribe and referred the matter to them.
"Singapore adopts a strict zero-tolerance approach towards corruption," CPIB said.
A person convicted of corruption can be jailed for up to five years, or fined up to $100,000, or both.
