Boon Gay - I am not a corrupt officer; I will fight charges

[Confuseous]

Former Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) chief Ng Boon Gay will contest charges of corruption against him, his lawyers said on Tuesday evening.

In a statement emailed to The Straits Times, Ng's lawyers, Senior Counsel Tan Chee Meng and Ms Melanie Ho of Wong Partnership, said: 'As we had indicated in Court, Boon Gay will be contesting the charges. Personal indiscretions aside, Boon Gay firmly believes he is not a corrupt officer.'

Ng was charged in court on Tuesday with four counts of corruption involving sex with a woman seeking government contracts.

The 46-year-old is accused of obtaining sexual gratification from Ms Cecilia Sue Siew Nang, who was an employee of two IT vendors between June and December last year. The IT vendors are Oracle and Hitachi Data Systems.

To succeed, the lawyers acting for NBG will need to delink the alleged sexual gratification to the contract secured. Not an easy task though. Good luck to NBG and his lawyers.

I am speaking as a man. First time only bj I can believe. Second time again only bj I will try to believe. Third time still only bj how to believe? Forth time still only bj even if the man only want bj the woman will want to go all the way. Tio boh?

No idea bro. Given the personality involved, I suspect a senior DPP will be entrusted to prosecute this case.

There is absolutely nothing for NBG to lose now except his pension and medical benefits. His reputation and that of his family has already been destroyed and is no longer part of the equation. He should fight this as if his life is at stake.

I do not know PL at all but I know NBG. Nice man. He probably did not think the sexual acts fell into the PCA. What if there was 'kumcheng' involved and CS would have performed the same act even if no contract was at stake? Could it be possible that NBG received the same type of service from other women even though there was no contract to be awarded?

NBG is not defending himself. His paid lawyers must discover ways to exonerate him from those charges. It has everything to do with the lawyers.

His defence will probably be that TLC was given to his TLC by C, because C really really liked his TLC.

PS: Hope u remember what the 2 TLCs stand for.

The truth will prevail when the day comes. If NBG really never commits such act,then he should fight to the end to clear his name.

knn for a moment while scrolling down I thought its the PAP's lightning rod.

Depending on whether the woman is a willing or non-willing partner. If non-willing, she will continue bj. This can also lead to the sexual gratification to be "obtained" rather than "given".

One can argue that PR is like that one mah, it is called premption.:o Bro, you not in sales line, that's why:p

you should know too that he's a casualty of infighting and shenaniganary in the mha. it happens when there's new management. wks truly fucked up his old job. the tripartite of bl, et (not eddie) and tss is still in charge in the shadows although pmo thinks it has the upper hand. the problem now lies with teo (not eddie) and pm and how they deal with entrenched bureaucrats.

Bro, the burden of proof is on the AG and not NBG's lawyers, isnt it?

[kingrant]

I agree for the reason that there is only one charge, and if he fights hard and wins, he is already scot free!

yes..but that is not the way it is here..have seen AGC secure convictions in our Courts with little of evidence and some of it plainly circumstantial..IMO, I hope NBG goes to trial..all I can say is..it will be very interesting..

in the trial by public opinion, he is already guilty, i think.
Just a hypothethical questionwhat will happen if CS declares that it was all for fun? can someone answer here?
unfortunately, it could well be true that NBG did it because he has the hots for CS...or even the feeling could be mutual, but in the end, does it matter in the end now that it already in court?

how many collateral damage? could this matter be settled if he have just offered to resign in the first place? This case is also bad for the covil service as a whole, I think. He could have just been dismissed for mis conduct. really messy if prosecution loses.

My take on this case: He think he is king. Most probably coming from good school; Scholar and all; fast track career; He think he can do no wrong. See this gal, CS, feeling horny, try his luck, maybe not so confident, link it to a contract. My take is that put him away for good.

Whether he gets his pro-rated pension and medi, there is still the Civil Svc Commission layer, no
