SINGAPORE: The Attorney-General’s Chambers is expected to “take a decision soon” on Singapore-based Malaysian property tycoon Ong Beng Seng, after former transport minister S Iswaran pleaded guilty yesterday to bribery and obstruction of justice charges, Business Times reported.
The report did not specify what the AGC’s decision would be about, nor the precise timeline of it.
The AGC had said in January that it would decide on Hotel Properties Limited co-founder Ong and others after Iswaran’s case had been completed.
Prosecutors had alleged that Iswaran was taking favours from Ong, such as tickets to musicals on the West End.
Ong has not been charged and was recently seen at the sold-out Formula 1 night race last weekend in Singapore.
