Serious Ex-Director In Good PM Lee's Office Charged For Corruption! Oppies Still Think PAP Tolerates Corruption?

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE – A former director of the organisation that sets the national direction for research and development has been accused of taking bribes in exchange for advancing the business interest of a company.

Henry Wong Chuen Yuen, who was the director of programmes and the central innovation cluster at the National Research Foundation (NRF), was charged on Friday with one count of corruption.

Wong, 53, was also a member of the project evaluation panel at the Built Environment Technology Alliance (Beta).

A spokesman from NRF said Wong relinquished his roles in February 2022, declining to comment further, citing the ongoing case.

Between May and August 2021, Wong allegedly agreed to accept gratification in the form of a 30 per cent shareholding in the firm Smart Illumination from its director Lee Tze Boon.

This was purportedly a reward for advancing the company’s business interest in its application for grant funding from Beta.

Lee, 50, was also charged with one count of corruption on Friday.

In a statement, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau said that it was referred the case by the NRF.

The NRF was set up in 2006 under the Prime Minister’s Office. It sets the national direction for research and development by enacting policies, plans and strategies.

In court, the two men indicated that they would be engaging their own lawyers.

They will return to court on July 13.

For corruption, Wong and Lee can each be fined up to $100,000, jailed up to five years, or both.

Poor director didn't get the node from King Loong to set up and have a shareholding Company in a sub contract firm. Thus he was being sued and convicted pants down

That's the biggest sin.

You find that these so call high calibre people are the most redundant. They have past their stage of the peak of career. Basically being sold to govt for too long. But they have lose their cutting edge. They aren't the best but they do hold some power. They wanted to use the power they had left and start to do business using their own connection inside out

But i don't know how they got discovered. This is supposed to be a covert ops. No one is suppose to Know the boss behind the scene. He is too reckless.
