Chew Kim Hwee allowed his employee to bribe the NTUC FairPrice team leader to get more business, and came up with a way to disguise the payments.
at supermarket chain NTUC FairPrice, the fish wholesaler's biggest customer, and even concocted a plan to disguise the corrupt payments.He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to give bribes to former NTUC FairPrice senior team leader Lim Kian Kok, with another charge taken into consideration.
Chew's employee, 44-year-old Malaysian Ngow Chun Siong, worked at the stall, transporting the fish, selling and packing them.Lim asked what he would receive if he did so, and Ngow understood that the FairPrice employee wanted money in exchange for more business with Fish Vision.Chew agreed to offer Lim 20 cents for each kg of fish that Lim bought from Fish Vision on behalf of NTUC FairPrice.
This idea was conceived by Chew, who wanted to cover up the bribes. Fish Vision's administrative manager would process the claims, which Chew would approve and pay the sums to Ngow from the wholesaler's petty cash account.Before the arrangement began, Lim would purchase about 200kg of fish per day from Fish Vision on behalf of NTUC FairPrice.
