SINGAPORE – A deputy project director at a firm handling construction projects accepted bribes from the managing director of a construction company, and they included a loan of more than $27,000.
Lee Yuet Heng, 74, who was then working for Hydrochem – a wholly owned subsidiary of water treatment firm Hyflux – committed the offences to advance Zhengda Corporation’s business interests with Hydrochem. He has since repaid the loan.
The Singaporean accepted other items, including a plane ticket to Hong Kong, from Zhengda’s boss, Chinese national Li Hongda, 59. Li’s case is still pending.
