Jail for man who worked with father and others to give over S$1.8mil in bribes to a zoo director

SINGAPORE: A man wanted to stop the corrupt practices of his family construction business after he took over its operations, but failed and eventually continued the graft-related arrangements.

The prosecution said that Toh had taken a cut of up to $118,100 before handing over the bribes to Barry Chong Peng Wee, 57, whose case is pending.Deputy public prosecutors Kelvin Chong, Shamini Joseph and Darren Sim stated in court documents that Toh was the main link between Barry Chong and all the other contractors.

One of the contractors, Tan Chuan Hong, then 47, was sentenced to 14 months’ jail in September 2023. He was a director at Hong Power Engineering at the time of the offences. The prosecutors told the court: “The accused informed Barry that SYC wished to simply bid for jobs...and not to pay Barry a ‘commission’ for the jobs that WRS awarded to SYC.

The invoices or quotations SYC submitted to WRS would be marked-up so that Chong would obtain the inflated value as “commission”, the court heard.
