SINGAPORE: Five more men were charged on Tuesday with alleged involvement in the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) cheating case involving some S$12.1 million.
Two of them are 42-year-old Anthony Xavier Foo Doon Tong from marketing services company Ribbons and Rolls and 46-year-old Tan Peng Chong from telephone cable services company Advent Enterprise.
The other three charged are officers from TPL Communications, a firm dealing with telephone equipment. They are 48-year-old Png Teck Soon, 47-year-old Seah Hwee Thong and 42-year-old Tan Meng Teck.
The men face between five and 11 cheating charges each.
Their pre-trial conference will be held on December 7.
They had allegedly conspired with two of SLA's former senior executives to deceive the SLA into believing that the invoices they rendered for fictitious services and goods were genuine.
SLA's former deputy director of the Technology and Infrastructure Department, 40-year-old Koh Seah Wee, faces 294 charges in all.
His ex-colleague from the same department, 37-year-old Lim Chai Meng has 309 charges against him.
If convicted of cheating, for each charge, the men can be jailed up to 10 years and fined.
