The AAC Director-General Rong-Sung CHUAN led the delegation, including the AAC Director of Malpractices Investigation Division Chih-Hung CHIU, Director of Central Investigation Office Te-Fang CHEN, Director of Planning Division Chia-Chen CHI, Section Chief of Planning Division Li-Chieh SUN, and Special Agent of Malpractices Investigation Division Yuan-Ting CHANG, to conduct an official visit to Singapore. Upon arrival on November 15th, the delegation promptly paid a courtesy visit to the Taipei Representative Office in the Republic of Singapore, where they were personally received by Representative Dr. Chen-Yuan TUNG and Deputy Representative Wen-Ling WU. Representative TUNG not only provided an in-depth overview of the current political and economic situation in Singapore but also hosted a banquet at the official residence that evening to welcome the visiting delegation.
On the 16th and 17th, the delegation separately met with the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) and the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) of Singapore. Discussions covered the similarities and differences between the prosecutorial system systems of Taiwan and Singapore, the division of responsibilities, and collaboration models between the Singaporean prosecutors and the CPIB in handling corruption cases, investigations into novel forms of corrupt practices, and relevant issues such as the operational procedures of the "Technology Crime Task Force" and the "Cryptocurrency Task Force," both established by the AGC in 2022. The discussions were fruitful, leading to a mutual understanding on the recommencement of joint efforts between Taiwan and Singapore in combating corruption and promoting exchanges on integrity.
