SINGAPORE - A project director of the consultancy linked to the unauthorised clearing of Kranji woodland in 2020 and 2021 was fined $20,000 on Tuesday.

The other three co-accused are Neo Jek Lin, 44, who was a JTC senior project manager at the time of the unauthorised clearing; Chong Pui Chih, 47, a former deputy director with the statutory board; and Jimmy Liu, 63, the vice-president of CPG. Deputy public prosecutors Nicholas Khoo and Jordon Li said that in March 2019, the Government announced that a plot of land in Kranji Close and Kranji Road would be set aside for the development of the Kranji AFIP.

The development of the Kranji AFIP was delayed after works were halted between April and August 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Tan agreed and ordered for the tree felling to be carried out without obtaining approval for the plan.
