Lim Chor Ghee, 52, managing director of Springleaf Engineering, an engineering design and consultancy company, pleaded guilty on Friday to three charges of paying S$130,000 in bribes, with four charges of abetting to give false documents taken into consideration.Lim made the bribe payments to Kaw Kok Hong, who was at the time a facilities manager of Heptagon Micro Optics.
As managing agent, Springleaf Engineering provided mechanical and electrical services, equipment hook-up and facilities equipment maintenance services to Heptagon. However, he did not have the prerequisite of S$100,000 in his Marina Bay Sands membership account to qualify for the premium membership. He wanted Kaw to put in a good word to senior facilities director Poh Kee Lean of Heptagon, in the event that Springleaf Engineering was charged for damages due to project delays.
Heptagon had a three-quotation rule for contract valued between US$30,000 and US$300,000, meaning that three quotations had to be compared before deciding on which subcontractor to engage. Both of them were said to have known that these quotations would not contain genuine bids by the subcontractors, but were furnished solely to help Springleaf Engineering win the bid with Heptagon.
