SINGAPORE: A former assistant buyer for SMRT was sentenced to jail on Monday for taking more than S$54,000 in bribes from company directors in exchange for confidential information.He pleaded guilty to three counts of accepting bribes and two counts of forgery, with another eight charges taken into consideration.
Assistant buyers initiate a sourcing event within the system, and if correctly used, the system does not allow the assistant buyer to view the pricelist submitted by vendors before the sourcing event is over. The directors are: Euro Bremse's Yong Ming Jun, CEE Technologies' Wong King Mooi and Alturan's Lee Won Jong.
Soh then offered to provide Yong with confidential information if Yong could"help" him, which the latter understood to mean monetary gratification. Soh offered to provide Wong with confidential information, but said that the latter should"help" him as well, and she agreed.Soh also admitted forging documents - on one occasion in May 2018, he forged a contract with CEE Technologies to indicate that it was to supply SMRT with train parts for a two-year term instead of the one-year term agreed on.
Soh also signed another document in November 2017 instead of asking SMRT's senior category manager to do so, for"his own convenience", court documents said.
