Singapore MFA Director-General Gilbert Oh Hin Kwan jailed for a week for lying about using diplomatic bags for luxury watch courier.

Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Director-General Gilbert Oh Hin Kwan was jailed for a week for lying about his use of diplomatic bags to courier luxury watches for a friend. He pleaded guilty to a charge of providing false information to a public servant in 2023. The judge rejected the argument that Oh's lie only concealed the "true ownership" of the package, emphasizing its potential to harm trust in Singapore's international relationships.
