SINGAPORE – A company director who indirectly bribed a staff member of DSO National Laboratories was sentenced to 10 months and two weeks’ jail on Oct 16.
Jason Chua Aik Leng, 67, previously pleaded guilty to one charge of abetting the corrupt giving of gratification.
He was the senior executive director and shareholder of Wah Loon Engineering (WLE).
According to court documents, around 2018, Poh Beng San, an assistant manager of DSO’s facilities management team, told sub-contractor Alex Lee Yew Huat that DSO was looking for contractors to carry out works for one of its buildings.
DSO is Singapore’s largest defence research and development organisation. It serves public functions relating to national defence.
The court was told Poh had asked for a token of appreciation if the contractor secured the project.
Lee, a supervisor at fire protection company Fire-Mech, contacted Chua, saying he had inside information from someone in DSO who could help WLE win the project.
Chua was to then sub-contract the fire protection portion to Fire-Mech, and give about 1% of the contract price to that someone in DSO as a token of appreciation.
