Director of fish wholesaler jailed for bribing ex-FairPrice staff
SINGAPORE – Not only did the director of a fish wholesaler conspire with his employee to bribe a former FairPrice senior team leader, he also attempted to disguise the bribes as “labour charges”.
The DPP said: “By doing so, he was implying that he would purchase more fish from Fish Vision if Ngow gave him money.” To disguise the bribes, Chew came up with the idea for Ngow to submit claims to Fish Vision for “labour charges for the packing of fish” in his daily profit and loss reports.Lim had usually bought about 200kg of fish per day from Fish Vision Agro-Tech on behalf of FairPrice. After the corrupt deal was agreed on, the amount increased to 400kg to 600kg per day.
Ngow, who faced another unrelated charge of drink-driving, was earlier sentenced to seven months’ jail and a fine of $4,000. He was also disqualified from holding or obtaining all classes of driving licence for 2½ years.
