Another former ST Marine executive has pleaded guilty and been given a short detention order following a long corruption trial.
Chang Cheow Teck, the former president of ST Marine from March 2008 to April 2010, was sentenced to 14 days.
This is the latest in a series of sentences handed to former ST Marine employees under an investigation conducted by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB), started in 2011.
Chang pleaded guilty to one charge under the section 157 (1) of the Companies Act.
Parent ST Engineering added: “ST Engineering is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and recognises that fraud is detrimental to the reputation of the ST Engineering Group.”
More former employees of the Singaporean engineering group have been facing various charges.
In September, Mok Kim Whang, 65, a senior vice president from 2000 to 2004, was sentenced to 20 weeks in prison and fined SGD 100,000 ($73,600).
