Company COO jailed over bribes to NLB assistant director who asked for 'sponsorship'

Former assistant director at the National Library Board Adrian Chan Siew Leng had asked if Tan Lai Heng's company was"open for sponsorship or scholarship" for his Master's programme.New: You can now listen to articles.SINGAPORE: Fearing that his company's business might be jeopardised, a chief operating officer agreed to give bribes to a National Library Board assistant director.

Tan became COO by April 2018, while Lien was the Chief Financial Officer. Both discussed and decided major company matters together. At the time, Lim was a sales director reporting to Tan. He became a director of BES on Jan 16, 2019. Lim told Tan about the request. Tan had formed the impression that Chan was quite influential in NLB and did not want to risk offending him and jeopardising BES' business, as the project was one of the largest awarded to BES."The accused also thought that might be able to negatively influence and jeopardise the such that it would harm BES. He thus agreed to the request," said Deputy Public Prosecutor Tan Pei Wei.

The project manager handling the tender was Chan's subordinate. Due to the bribes he received from Lim, Chan advised the subordinate to obtain budgetary quotations from BES in her preparations for the tender and she did so in June and September 2018.
