SINGAPORE — In a ruse to trick the Land Transport Authority (LTA), two former truck drivers came up with a plan to weld metal beams onto the company trailer so that it is heavy enough to be roadworthy.

conspiring to cheat the LTA into believing that the trailers the men brought in for inspection were within the required weight range, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau said in a statement.had deceived the LTA on 21 occasions between October 2010 and April 2012 into believing that Sin Trans’ trailers were compliant with the approved technical drawings when they were not.

But investigations by the CPIB revealed that sometime in 2010, Sin Trans’ trailers failed the inspections as the trailers were found to be lighter than what was stated. Chua, who knew about Loh’s plans, would also assist Loh by driving the modified trailer for inspection and witnessing the weighing, said the statement.
