THE Government will amend the law soon to ensure that legislation provides for higher penalties for directors and other senior officers who commit criminal breach of trust (CBT), said Minister for Home Affairs K Shanmugam, in the wake of a court ruling which resulted in lower sentences in the high-profile City Harvest Church case.
"We hope to make the amendment together with the other wide-ranging amendments to the Penal Code," he told Parliament on Monday.
