SINGAPORE: Former Singapore Civil Defence Force
chief Peter Lim Sin Pang has been charged with 10 counts of
corruption.
He allegedly obtained sexual gratification from three women between
May 2010 and November 2011.
From a hotel in Paris, to car parks in various parts of Singapore,
and apartments in Clementi and Tanjong Rhu.
These were where Lim allegedly had sex with three women - two
vendors and a potential vendor.
Lim allegedly had oral sex from Lee Wei Hoon, a director of
Singapore Radiation Centre and Pang Chor Mui, a general manager at
Nimrod Engineering.
The 52-year-old man is also accused of having sex on seven
occasions with Esther Goh Tok Mui, a business development director
at NCS Private Limited.
In return, Lim would show favour to the companies where the women
are working at, for IT-related tenders called by the SCDF.
Lim, who's married, was arrested by the Corrupt Practices
Investigation Bureau in January this year and removed from his post
in the same month.
He is now out on a S$10,000 bail.
His passport has also been surrendered to the CPIB.
Dressed in a blue long-sleeved shirt, Lim arrived at the
Subordinate Courts in a black car.
He appeared worried as the charges were read out in court, and
declined comment when approached by the media.
A couple, who accompanied Lim as he walked out of court, told
MediaCorp that they were there to give Lim moral support.
Lim will be back in court on July 5.
If convicted, he could be jailed up to five years and fined
S$100,000 for each charge.
