Civil servants cannot retain gifts worth over S$50, same 'spirit' applies to political office holders: Chan Chun Sing
The rules for the civil service on accepting gifts and hospitality are designed to “maintain incorruptibility”, and prevent its officers from becoming “beholden” to any person or organisation, said the minister.

No, the technicians proudly carried it around to show off and then walk towards their cars.
Those electronic component cost less than a dollar if you buy it from sim lim tower, but the suppliers charged them more then 10 times the price if they sell to NUS.
上有政策，下有对策lah.
Only good ppl will follow rules but not the bad ppl.

The same companies that sold their components to the NUS staff that charged more than 10 times higher.

As long as you share the hamper with the rest in the dept, no a prob. If really worried, passed to hod and make that his or her prob
What if $50 hamper open up and distribute?

I think we all overlooked the words in bold same 'spirit'. What I understand then is there is law for civil servant about that $50 whereas for political office holders that is no actual law but more on same spirit? I.e on black and white civil servant are forbidden. for political office holders no black and white but same spirits? I becoming to like the ancient China Emperor dynasty system, black and white they 说了算了
