SINGAPORE - Three current and former employees with SMRT Trains were hauled to court on Friday (Dec 29) over cheating charges, in which SMRT was duped into awarding millions of dollars of contracts to two companies the trio had an interest in.

The contracts were worth about $9.8 million and the offences took place between 2007 and 2012.

The three involved are the rail operator's line manager Zulkifli Marwi, 52; former assistant engineer Zakaria Mohamed Shariff, 59 and former manager Jamalludin Jumari, 61.

A fourth man, director of Enovation Industries Akbar Ali Tambishahib, 60, was also charged with similar offences on Friday.

In a statement on Friday, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau said Jamalludin, who had absconded in 2013, was found recently in Malaysia and brought back to Singapore to face charges.

The CPIB had worked closely with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to do so.

"It is an offence for employees to cheat their employers for their own personal gains and they will have to bear the full brunt of the law," said the CPIB.

Offenders convicted of cheating can be jailed for up to 10 years and fined for each charge.

All four men will be back in court on Jan 15 next year.
 
Why must be SMRT again?

Always some news about them....mostly bad.
 
2007 - 2012, is a very long time, that the "Mexican" rats had been stealing from the Silos.
 
Holy cow! Yet another Aunty Ho Temasek case with CPIB. What is going on? Talk about lack of oversight and governance. This involves a few millions and going on for few years.
 
The biggest rip off of SMRT finances was by this woman...

She was paid an average of 1.5 million dollars a year for 10 years = $15 million to run the system to the ground and then jump ship with no accountability.
 
(no) conflict of interest, not a clear cut corruption case.

This just points to further lapses in the tender system. No system is foolproof when employees deliberately attempt to cover up to be fair.

But someone definitely dropped the ball for this to happen for so many years.

But who set her KPIs? Can't be ownself set own KPIs. She delivered on her KPIs
 
All the offenders are m&ds. If only they had the foresight to include a chink in their gang, they would've gotten away.
 
Asking Corrupt STomachsick to control corruption in the companies they own is like asking the fox to guard the hen house.
 
they learn well from FAP's $2 setup run by ex-MPs.. Wasnt the AMK town council bugger charge for smthg in 2017?
