SINGAPORE, Sept 18 — A construction tender for Singapore Airlines became an opportunity for a freelance interior designer and an SIA assistant manager to line their pockets with more than S$200,000 in commissions from the contractor they helped win the project.He is the first person to be dealt with over the scheme, after he pleaded guilty in August to corruptly receiving monetary commission from a contractor.Zhang was also ordered to pay a penalty of S$103,767.55.
Low allegedly suggested to Zhang that he could let the prospective contractor know that he had a contact in SIA who could assist in securing the tender and provide help in any way, in exchange for a commission from the contractor.He then called one of his contacts who referred him to Ang. The trio eventually agreed that Ang would mark up the quantum of the contract amount by S$100,000 and he would pay Zhang and Low the S$100,000 together with a five per cent commission of the total contract amount, the court heard.
This time, Ang allegedly agreed to pay a commission comprising a mark up of S$20,880 and five per cent of the furniture contract amount, bringing the total to S$30,474. Zhang subsequently spent his share of the commission on his wedding and holiday expenses, his wife’s maternity bills and general living expenses.Seeking nine to 10 months’ jail for Zhang, DPP Arvindren said that the gratification amount was not only substantial, but Zhang had also been motivated by personal gain when he committed the offence.
