He is said to have corruptly given bribes of between $1,000 and $39,500 to six people to take the rap for operating illegal gaming houses in places such as Geylang, East Coast, Beach Road, Ang Mo Kio and Rowell Road between 2004 and 2007.

He is also alleged to have agreed to give $1,000 to a seventh man known only as Jack for assuming criminal liability.
