An audit by Singapore's Auditor-General's Office (AGO) identified several enforcement failures related to gambling regulations and financial mismanagement in public projects. Between April 2023 and March 2025, 120 individuals banned from gambling accessed casinos in Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa, with some exceeding their visit limits. Additionally, 79 banned individuals retained access to Singapore Pools online betting services, resulting in over $75,000 in unauthorized bets. The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Singapore attributed these lapses to technical issues but stated corrections were made by early 2026. In another area, the audit uncovered financial irregularities in the construction of the National Cancer Centre Singapore, including delays in securing approvals for changes to the project. The Ministry of Health acknowledged the need to rapidly expand healthcare capacity at the time but admitted to lapses in contract and financial oversight.
