One of the former WRS officers, Chin Fong Yi, 46, was sentenced to jail and ordered to pay a penalty in March last year for receiving the bribes. The case of former WRS director Barry Chong Peng Wee, 56, who allegedly received more than S$2.4 million in gratuities, is still pending.The court heard that at the time of the offences, Too worked as a foreman at Shin Yong Construction, the construction company founded by his late father Toh Siang Bee.
The court also heard that Too’s elder brother, Toh Say Yong, took over their father’s place in the company sometime in 2005 after the latter passed away. Prosecutors said that Too’s brother also conspired with Barry to ensure that WRS-related jobs were awarded to Shin Yong Construction in exchange for a “monetary commission of roughly 10 per cent mark up in the bid price given to WRS”.
Three other companies were awarded jobs totalling between S$1.7 million to S$2.70 million per company, while a fifth firm received jobs worth S$14,300, the court heard. Besides the losses suffered by WRS and the amount of bribes involved, the prosecutors argued that third-party contractors were deprived of a fair opportunity to bid for for jobs.
