NParks Directors Took Bribes

Sometimes I see this kind of news, I wonder if it is just the tip of the iceberg, only those that are caught then you will see in the news, how about those that are not caught? How many? Nobody knows.

Then the funny part about this news is that the benefit involved is so little, S$258 hotel stay and some transport services, like wtf, so how many our our civil servants also took this kind of small little bribes here and there, who knows, nobody knows, until someone report.

Not sure what is the actual story but this case sounds like a deal went sour, then the person giving the bribes go sabo? Or maybe somebody whistle-blow?

Anyway when this kind of news appear, I tend to lose confidence in our civil service, I tend to wonder how many of these garbage we have in our civil service, maybe it's time to do some spring cleaning? I hope our government will take action and answer to the public, every time say transparent but then this kind of sneaky things still can happen, how is this transparent?

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop.
