Keppel corruption case: ‘Lack of sufficient evidence’ to prosecute 6 ex-employees, says Indranee Rajah

over a multi-million dollar bribery case due to insufficient evidence to establish their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Indranee Rajah on Monday .

The warnings were in lieu of prosecution for offences punishable under the Prevention of Corruption Act. CPIB did not name the individuals.questioned the decision not to prosecuteMs Indranee subsequently addressed"assertions" about the case in a Facebook post and said the assertions were made on an"inadequate understanding of the facts".

As part of a global resolution involving the DOJ, and authorities in Brazil and Singapore, KOM paid US$422 million in fines.INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE, LACK OF WITNESSES WILLING TO TESTIFY A foreign witness who gave evidence in other proceedings was not willing to testify in Singapore. The authorities could not compel him to do so, Ms Indranee added.

Law enforcement agencies in the United States, United Kingdom and New Zealand have a similar approach, she added. “So you see, what are the choices? … Do nothing at all, bring charges when you know you don't have sufficient evidence, or is there something in between? The stern warning device is the something in between,” she said.

What? Lack of evidence? Then why call it corrupted?

How does it form a case previously if evidence is not sufficient? Just curious

The man on the street already talking - Keppel and SPH.

Foreign employees in overseas agent company? I guess pretty tough to prosecute short term. Evidence gathering should be given more time, try harder to bring forth witnesses to testify. This news will not go down well with Singaporeans generally speaking.

Lack evidence? Wow. Sounds so suspicious or is it should be auspicious? Hmmm

🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔

US department of justice interfering with other regional laws?

Where there is no will, there is no evidence.
