SINGAPORE: A district court will hand down its verdict on the sex-for-contracts case involving former SCDF chief Peter Lim at the end of this month.
This comes after prosecution and defence lawyers wrapped up their closing arguments on Tuesday, after 12 days of trial.
Lim is accused of corruptly obtaining oral sex from Madam Pang Chor Mui in 2010 in exchange for furthering her company's business interests with the SCDF.
In court on Tuesday, Lim's lawyer, Hamidul Haq, maintained that his client was not corrupt and that there was "not a shred of evidence in court" that Lim had promised any favours to Madam Pang in exchange for oral sex.
Mr Haq went on to reinforce that the oral sex was a result of a close personal relationship that developed after they shared family, health and religious matters with each other.
"Peter Lim is not asking for mercy because he knows he isn't corrupt, and asks the court to appreciate the nature of the uncommon relationship between him and (Madam Pang)," Mr Haq added.
In reply, Deputy Public Prosecutor Tan Kiat Pheng said it was clear that Madam Pang's company, through her, sought further business with the SCDF.
He then charged Lim had lied and tailored his evidence in court to suit his defence.
Mr Tan added that Lim had “flip-flopped” when giving evidence on the stand, and given multiple versions of key aspects of the case - such as why he met up with Madam Pang on the night when they had oral sex, what happened in the lead-up to oral sex, and what kind of information he gave Madam Pang when he called her in March 2011 about SCDF's need for radiation portal monitors.
"The accused's deliberate lies and his evasiveness in answering questions in court show that he is not a truthful witness and that the material aspects of his defence should not be believed," Mr Tan added.
District Judge Hamidah Ibrahim will deliver her verdict on 31 May.
