THE man fingered as the main culprit in an organ-trading deal on Wednesday held that he had an accomplice whom he had paid an advance of $20,000 in two cheques. Wang Chin Sing, 44, who is on home detention for illegal organ trading and lying on oath, denied that the cheques were for a loan. Instead, they were advances made to his friend, Whang Sung Lin, for helping to buy a kidney for ailing retail magnate Tang Wee Sung, Wang contended.

He said they were sums requested by Whang from the estimated $200,000 they would be sharing as part of the $300,00 fee from Mr Tang. Mr Tang eventually paid him $125,000. Wang, who was convicted last September, was testifying on Day 2 of Whang's trial for abetting him and Mr Tang in the scheme last year. Whang, a 44-year-old businessman, is married to Mr Tang's niece. On Wednesday, his lawyer Subhas Anandan, suggested that the two men were so close they would lend each other money. Wang denied this.

In his questioning, Mr Anandan tried to show that Wang was not a reliable witness but a liar. He pointed to contradictions between Wang's testimony on Wednesday and his mitigation plea last August. In his plea, he had laid the blame for many details of the scheme on renal specialist Lye Wai Choong.

Businessman's term halved

KIDNEY-FOR-SALE CASE
Businessman's term halved

<!-- end left side bar --> <!-- story content : start --> WHANG Sung Lin knew his uncle-in-law, magnate Tang Wee Sung, needed a kidney badly and Whang wanted to milk him for what it was worth. He introduced Mr Tang to illegal organ trader Wang Chin Sing but told Mr Wang to 'charge more than the usual price' so Whang himself could get a hefty cut from the transaction. Whang, 45, a businessman, was jailed for eight months last year for instigating the two men to carry out the illegal organ trade. However, the High Court shaved four months off Whang's jail term on Friday when he appealed against the sentence. Justice Tay Yong Kwang said Whang was merely helping the two men strike a deal - and not instigating them to commit an offence. The only time Whang ever goaded Mr Wang in the illegal transaction was when he asked him to charge a higher fee, said the judge. But this, the judge said, could not be considered as instigating the illegal plan.
