SINGAPORE: The director of a transport company was jailed after he tried to bribe a man so he could illegally dump 10 lorry loads of chicken compost in Tuas.<\/p>\n
Kee Yuet Ting, 40, director of KYT Transport, was sentenced to five days\u2019 jail on Oct 15 after he pleaded guilty to a corruption charge.<\/p>\n
His company arranges for the transportation of soil and compost via lorry delivery.<\/p>\n
On June 21, 2024, he collected chicken compost from two egg farms and had tried offering it to a vegetable farm.<\/p>\n
But when that farm said it did not need the compost, Kee drove around Tuas looking for a place to dispose of it.<\/p>\n
He found a site used as a storage area for construction materials for a National Environment Agency (NEA) waste management facility.<\/p>\n
Kee offered the site manager $50 for each lorry load of extremely foul-smelling chicken compost he could illegally dispose of there.<\/p>\n
The manager had initially rejected the offer as he knew it was illegal, but eventually agreed after repeated requests by Kee.<\/p>\n
The next day, on June 22, 2024, Kee arranged for six lorry loads of the chicken compost to be dumped there.<\/p>\n
The site manager had used an excavator to dig a pit for the material, and this was later covered with fresh sand.<\/p>\n
On June 23, 2024, Kee arranged for another four lorries of chicken compost to be dumped there.<\/p>\n
But as the third lorry load was being dumped, the engineering company that leased the site found out about the unauthorised dumping.<\/p>\n
The site manager contacted Kee, who stopped the fourth lorry\u2019s delivery and also sent several lorries back to collect the chicken compost.<\/p>\n
NEA was informed and its officers inspected the area on June 26, 2024, but they could not collect any of the compost as it had already been removed by then.<\/p>\n
Kee ultimately did not pay the site manager the agreed bribe, and that man was convicted and jailed in June.<\/p>\n
For corruption, Kee could have been jailed for up to five years and fined $100,000. – The Straits Times\/ANN<\/p>\n
