<!--start of story text-->Former Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) senior executive Peter Khoo was fined $100,000 on Thursday for corruption and criminal breach of trust.
The fine was meted out by district judge Soh Tze Bian in lieu of 20 weeks of jail.
In August, the 49-year-old had pleaded guilty to two counts of corruption and one of criminal breach of trust. Seven other charges were taken into consideration for sentencing.
"I'm grateful to God and the friends who stuck with me through these difficult times," said Khoo, who was a senior vice-president in SPH's English and Malay Newspapers Division and head of its Editorial Projects Unit at the time of offence.
