The Land Transport Authority did not award any contract to any of Mr David Lum Kok Seng’s companies throughout the period that former minister S. Iswaran held the transport portfolio, said the Ministry of Transport on March 27.
The former minister is alleged to have obtained valuables with a total value of nearly $19,000 from Mr Lum between November 2021 and November 2022, an offence under Section 165 of the Penal Code. Public servants run afoul of the law if they accept gifts from people who are involved with them in an official capacity.
MOT said one of Mr Lum’s companies, Lum Chang Building Contractors, has two ongoing projects with the LTA. Both contracts were awarded before Iswaran was appointed transport minister.
