SWD spares no efforts to combat welfare payment fraud. As part of its community education programme, anti-fraud panels are being installed in all social security field units to remind those concerned to report their circumstances honestly and be aware of the seriousness of committing any offence. Latest figures on social security fraud are announced regularly on the panels and there are also cuttings about fraud cases resulting in conviction.
