A company director and a principal consultant have been charged with cheating the People s Association (PA) and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) of more than $77,000.
The duo - Jeffrey Ho Kiat, 54, a former principal consultant at IMDA, and Ng Sok Luan, 42, previously a director of Goldentree Innovations, and Creative Futures Agency - were taken to court yesterday and each slapped with 12 counts of cheating.
In a media release, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) said that in 2018, both allegedly conspired to cheat PA by dishonestly concealing Ho s interest in Goldentree.
They dishonestly induced PA into making payments, totalling almost $35,000, to Goldentree and two other companies through jobs awarded to these companies.
