By Channel NewsAsia's Hong Kong Bureau Chief Roland Lim | Posted: 04 May 2009 2243 hrs

HONG KONG: An academic who used to teach at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is among four people charged with conspiracy to defraud Hong Kong's City University.

Dr Vivienne Wee is an associate professor at City University. The 57-year-old used to lecture at the NUS Sociology Department and was a founding member of the Singapore women's group, AWARE.

Dr Wee and her brother, Gregory Wee, are accused of conspiring to defraud Hong Kong's City University, in relation to a US$128,000 information technology contract.

Hong Kong's anti-graft body, the ICAC, said she hid the fact that there was a conflict of interest with the service provider, Sparkland Production, which was awarded the IT contract.

The siblings are said to have conspired to win the contract for Sparkland. But as the company did not have the expertise, it is alleged that the job would have been done by her sister-in-law's firm, Locus Interactive.

The other two people charged in the case are the owner of Sparkland and Dr Wee's sister-in-law.

Bail for all parties is set at US$2,500 each and they have to give two days' notice before they leave Hong Kong.

The case is adjourned to May 22. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
