Regulation 9
Pension to cease on conviction
Subregulation 1
If any member to whom a pension has been granted under these Regulations is sentenced to death or any term of imprisonment by a court of competent jurisdiction, whether in Singapore or elsewhere, for any crime or offence, it shall be lawful for the Armed Forces Council to direct that such pension shall forthwith cease, and thereupon such pension shall cease accordingly except that the pension shall be restored with retrospective effect in the case of a person who received a free pardon at any time after his conviction.
Subregulation 2
Where a pension ceases for the reason referred to in paragraph (1) it shall be lawful for the Armed Forces Council to cause all or any part of moneys to which the member would have been entitled by way of pension to be paid to or applied for the benefit of any wife, child or children of the member, or after the expiration of his sentence, also for the benefit of the member himself, in such manner and in such proportion as the Armed Forces Council thinks fit.
