THE events of the past week have got netizens into a curious frenzy.
First, it was news of the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau's (CPIB) probe on the ex-heads of the Singapore Civil Defence Force Peter Lim and Central Narcotics Bureau Ng Boon Gay.
THEY are not just suspended as reported earlier – the two top civil servants implicated in a corruption probe were arrested and are actually out on bail.
