Malaysian national Wong King Mooi, who was the director of electrical works company CEE Technologies at the time the offences were allegedly committed, is facing three counts of corruption.

Soh Choon Heng and Yong Ming Jun face nine and five counts, respectively, according to The Straits Times.

Soh, described as a former assistant buyer for transportation company SMRT, is accused of taking bribes from Wong and Yong, who was director of parts and accessories with supplier Euro Bremise.

He is said to have received at least S$24,450 in bribes from Yong between 2016 and last year, and another S$28,700 from Wong between 2017 and 2019.

The bribes were allegedly given to Soh as a reward for providing them with information on quotations made to SMRT by other vendors.

Soh is also said to have received an additional S$900 from another individual, Lee Won Jong, in 2015 for a similar act. Lee was director of wholesale trade company Alturan.

It was not stated in court records if Lee had been charged over his alleged involvement.

Soh has also been charged with four counts of forgery. He is said to have fraudulently appended the signature of an SMRT procurement manager on two documents in November 2017, as well as doing so for the signature of SMRT’s director of procurement on two other documents in December 2017 and in May 2018.

The cases of Wong and Yong are scheduled to be heard again on Sept 16, with Soh’s case being heard on Sept 8.

Anyone in Singapore found guilty of corruption may be jailed for up to five years, or fined up to $100,000, or both.

Those convicted of forgery may be jailed for up to four years, or fined, or both.
