> Singapore has referred eight civil servants to police after an inquiry into suspected use of nonpublic information to buy properties near planned MRT stations. Minister Chan Chun Sing stressed that a referral does not establish wrongdoing and that police will independently examine the facts. A study had found civil servants were 60 percent more likely to buy homes near unannounced stations.
