What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Singapore government reviewed a study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research regarding property purchases made by civil servants near locations that were later announced as MRT stations. The review focused on property transactions of 191 civil servants between 2007 and 2014. Eight civil servants have been referred to the police for further investigation, though the government stated that a referral does not confirm wrongdoing.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The review was prompted by the paper, which alleged that civil servants and their relatives purchased property worth S$270 million ($210 million) near planned train stations before they were publicly announced. The government emphasized that public officers must not use official duties to advance private interests.
