SINGAPORE - A senior employee with the Housing Board and the director of a construction company who were accused of corruption have each been granted a discharge amounting to an acquittal.
He was accused of giving a false quotation from his company, through one of his employees, to an HDB senior estate manager, upon instigation from Mr Tan. Mr Tan, who has been suspended from service at HDB since he was charged a year ago, added that it had been taxing for him, his wife and their two sons during this period.His lawyer, Mr Kenneth Au-Yong, said the prosecution informed him and his client around two weeks ago that they had planned on withdrawing the charge.
In a statement released through his lawyers, Mr Liong said: “The acquittal has vindicated my decision to contest the charges from the very start. This is because my conscience has always been clear that I have not done any wrong and have never issued any false quotation.”
