Crematorium workers who take red packets from bereaved families and funeral directors who pass them on to these workers are now in trouble with the authorities over this practice at the government-run Mandai Crematorium.
In the past week, more than 20 workers from private funeral businesses as well as crematorium workers have reportedly been hauled up by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB ), said Shin Min Daily News yesterday.
