SINGAPORE - A FairPrice storekeeper took bribes totalling $4,320 from representatives of two seafood suppliers to advance their business interests with the supermarket chain. In an attempt to cover his tracks, Chua Teow Hym later deleted a WhatsApp conversation he had with...
The prosecution said that Chua had taken the bribes from Lim Wei Jian, 33, Ng Keng Meng, 58, and Lim Poh Heng, 70. The trio’s cases are still pending.
While working for FairPrice, Chua’s tasks included receiving stocks from suppliers and weighing them to ensure they matched the quantity ordered. He also had the discretion to reject stocks if they were not fresh. Deputy Public Prosecutor Tan Pei Wei said that he did so despite knowing it was wrong for him to receive gifts from the suppliers and accepting such items went against FairPrice’s employee code of conduct.
