2 pest control workers jailed for bribery in exchange for mosquito check tipoffs.

Two former employees of a vendor contracted by the National Environment Agency to assist with mosquito breeding inspections were jailed and fined on Monday after they pleaded guilty to receiving bribes.

Between January and April last year, the NEA and Killem team found mosquito breeding grounds on two occasions at a construction site at Tampines Industrial Street 61. Between May and August last year, the duo accepted $1,600 in bribes from Periyasamy on five occasions. Of the sum, Tung took $1,000 and Jeganathan took $600.
