CPIB nabs 9 for alleged basketball match-fixing
The Straits Times
|August 20, 2025
Nine people have been arrested for their suspected involvement in fixing matches in the national basketball league in 2025.
The Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) said in a statement on Aug 19 that it arrested eight Singaporeans and one permanent resident aged between 19 and 35.
Among those arrested were players from the teams taking part in the competition, the 2025 K. Star National Basketball League Division 1.
One of the matches that was allegedly fixed was the one between Tagawa and Tong Whye, which took place on Aug 1. That match ended 66-43 in favour of Tagawa.
The bureau said investigations are ongoing, and that Singapore adopts a zero-tolerance approach towards corruption.
"CPIB will not hesitate to take firm enforcement action against any parties involved, if they have given, received, or offered bribes to fix a match," it added.
