Singaporean duo fined for breaking UN rules

SINGAPORE - Two Singaporean men were fined $70,000 and $14,000 each on Thursday after they pleaded guilty to flouting United Nations (UN) rules.

Soh Boon Hock, 61, and Wan Teck Guan, 59, paid off credit card and golf membership bills incurred by Indonesian businessman Joseph Wong Kiia Tai, who is on a UN list of prohibited persons, between 2004 and 2013.

Wong, an executive of Oriental Timber Company (OTC), was among those blacklisted by the UN Security Council in 2004 for providing military and financial support to former Liberia president Charles Taylor.

The UN Security Council Resolution 1532 states that it is illegal to financially support Charles Taylor or his associates.
