Tan Hong Chian's bail was set at $15,000 on March 18 and he is expected to begin his jail sentence on April 4.

SINGAPORE - A director of a construction firm continued with his predecessor’s dishonest ways and became involved in the submission of 48 fabricated supporting quotations to Gardens by the Bay.

He is no longer a director at Full House but a search with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority reveals that he is still a shareholder there. DPP Ong told the court: “Margaret was the key mover and genesis of the conspiracy, whose directions set the entire scheme into motion and perpetuated it across different employees in Full House through her instructions. She is by far the most culpable person involved in the conspiracy.”

The contract had set out a schedule of rates that listed the agreed rates for specified common building improvement and maintenance work.There were other work with no rates specified, known as “star rate items”.
