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”. After the acts came to light, Chew Kim Hwee, 47, pleaded guilty to a corruption charge...
Lim had the discretion to decide which supplier he would buy seafood from and how much of it.
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.
“The fish Lim purchased from Fish Vision may thus not have been the best available. In this manner, the offences caused potential harm to NTUC FairPrice and its customers,” said DPP Tan. The duo received a total of $523,000 in bribes and split the amount equally, each receiving $261,500.
