Former Town Council General Manager Faces 55 Corruption Charges Over Alleged S$107,000 Bribes

The former general manager of Ang Mo Kio Town Council, Wong Chee Meng, has been charged with 55 counts of corruption, with allegations that he corruptly received approximately S$107,000. These alleged bribes were reportedly received in exchange for advancing the business interests of two building and repair companies with the town council.
Alleged Bribes in Overseas Remittances and Salary Payments

Wong is accused of receiving over S$30,000 in bribes from Chia Sin Lan, a director of 19-ANC Enterprise and 19-NS2 Enterprise. These funds were allegedly sent to Wong's mistress, Xu Hongmei, through overseas remittances between June 2015 and May 2016. Furthermore, between March and August 2016, Chia's company, 19-ANC Enterprise, is alleged to have paid over S$8,200 in salary to Wong's daughter-in-law, Ms Le Thi Hien, for a job secured due to the dealings between Wong and Chia.
Entertainment Expenses and Car Discounts

Beyond direct financial transfers, Wong allegedly accepted bribes in the form of entertainment expenses on at least 29 occasions. In 2015 alone, close to S$45,000 was reportedly spent on entertainment at various karaoke clubs. Other forms of gratification included hotel accommodations and meals. Additionally, Chia is alleged to have conspired to offer Wong bribes in the form of discounts amounting to S$13,500 for a car that Wong purchased, with these alleged activities occurring between June 2015 and May 2016.
Companies Accused of Conspiracy to Bribe

The two companies involved, 19-ANC Enterprise and 19-NS2 Enterprise, are also facing charges. They are accused of engaging in a criminal conspiracy with Chia, Yip Fong Yin (a project director at 19-ANC and director at 19-NS2), and Tay Eng Chuan to bribe Wong between 2014 and 2016. The stated objective of this alleged conspiracy was to advance the business interests of these companies with the Ang Mo Kio Town Council.
