A former events manager was charged in court on Monday with corruptly obtaining $10,200 from two people in return for renting commercial space from their companies.

Faymond Huang Zhiming, 37, was employed by 101 Hair Consultants when he allegedly obtained a total of $3,900 from Mr Teo Kah Siong, owner of JR Concept Enterprise, between 2008 and 2009 to rent commercial space from JR Concept.

SINGAPORE: An events manager of a hair consultancy firm was fined S$25,000 on Monday for corruption.

37-year-old Faymond Huang Zhiming, who was with 101 Hair Consultants, was also ordered to pay a penalty of S$10,200. This is the amount he took in bribes from landlords and agents, in exchange for renting commercial spaces from them.

Huang pleaded guilty to four counts of corruption. Five other similar charges were taken into consideration.

Huang was in charge of sourcing for commercial spaces at shopping malls, MRT stations and bus interchanges to stage roadshows for 101 Hair Consultants and its related companies, which include Beijing 101 Hair Consultants and Beijing 101 Hair Care.

To secure rental of commercial spaces, he would negotiate with the buildings' landlords or through their agents.

On more than 10 occasions in 2008, he received bribes from Jenny Seah Sok Hong, a director of Hemus Pacific and Jason Teo Kah Siong, owner of JR Concept Enterprise.

Huang accepted bribes of between S$400 and S$3,500 from them on each occasion. In return, he would rent commercial spaces through their companies. The rental venues included Bugis MRT station, Sengkang MRT station, Ang Mo Kio Interchange and Tanjong Pagar Plaza's outdoor atrium.

A similar incident also took place during the annual IT Fair in March 2009. Huang received a S$1,500 bribe from Teo, in exchange for renting space through JR Concept Enterprise at Suntec Exhibition Hall, where the fair was held.

Court documents revealed that Huang has a string of offences dating back to 1998. The offences included theft, cheating and molest.

For corruption, he could have been jailed up to five years and fined S$100,000 for each charge.
