SINGAPORE - Over two years, a town council's general manager was treated to KTV sessions - including alcoholic drinks, tips for staff and flower garlands for lounge singers - by a director of two construction companies.
On Monday , the duo pleaded guilty to the charges of corruption, ending a trial which was held over several tranches since September last year. Wong, also known as Victor, was AMKTC's general manager from 2013 to 2016. In September 2016, AMKTC received a complaint about the way Wong had handled contracts. He was removed from duty a month later and later investigated by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau.
But knowing that 19-ANC's incense burners were the most environmentally friendly, Wong told staff in the contracts team to focus on this aspect, and gave instructions to increase the tender evaluation score for 19-ANC, while decreasing Uniquetech's. Wong also admitted influencing his staff in the contracts department to include 19-ANC in the list of contractors to invite for ITQs . These are given for ad hoc works valued at less than $70,000, when no tenders are called.
Wong and Chia thus each pleaded guilty to three charges of corruption, with bribes amounting to more than $75,300.
