Former SLA employees plead guilty in S$12.2m fraud case
SINGAPORE: Two former Singapore Land Authority (SLA) employees, who pilfered S$12.2 million from the statutory board over a span of less than two years, have pleaded guilty to cheating and money laundering charges.
41-year-old Koh Seah Wee, a former SLA deputy director of its technology and infrastructure department, pleaded guilty to a total of 46 cheating charges involving two statutory boards and nine counts of money laundering.
Koh's then-subordinate and accomplice, 38-year-old Christopher Lim Chai Meng, also pleaded guilty to 41 cheating charges and eight counts of money laundering.
Their modus operandi was to put up fictitious contracts with IT vendors who eventually did not provide the goods and services to SLA as stated in the contracts. A total of 11 vendors were involved in the scam.
Meanwhile, the SLA has sued the duo, along with 16 other individuals and firms, to recover the S$12.2 million. The case has been adjourned to November 4.
