Neo Chye Koon and Wong Chee Thiam at the courts in March 2022. They each pled guilty to a graft charge on Oct 13.
Deputy public prosecutors Eric Hu and Yeow Xuan had told the court that as a result of the favour shown by Goh, Magnum derived substantial business advantage by securing at least three projects worth nearly $446,500 in total.About one to two months later, Goh contacted Neo and told him that there were jobs for offer at the zoo. All three men later had a meeting and Goh offered to invite Magnum to tender for these jobs.
The prosecutors said that Magnum later received information from Goh and adjusted its quotation prices to fit WRS’ budget before submitting its bids.
