Chief Executive Officer and Company Director Charged For Alleged Corruption, Falsification and Cheating Offences

On 26 August 2026, the following two individuals were charged in Court for alleged corruption, falsification and cheating offences:

a) Tan Kee Aan (“Tan”) (郑启岸, 40-year-old male Singaporean), a Chief Executive Officer of TSM C&S Consultants Pte Ltd (“TSM Consultants”) which was engaged by the Management Corporation – Strata Title Plan No. 651 (Lucky Plaza) (the “MCST”) as the consultant of a Driveway Improvement Works (“DIW”) project at the time of the alleged offences; and

b) Tey Thuan Guan (“Tey”) (郑泉源, 60-year-old male Singaporean), a Director of Hoe Guan Enterprise Pte Ltd (“Hoe Guan Enterprise”) at the time of the alleged offence.

Alleged Corruption Offences

2. On two occasions between November 2024 and December 2024, Tan allegedly accepted bribes totalling S$100,000 from Tey as a reward to further the business interest of Hoe Guan Enterprise with the MCST in relation to the abovementioned DIW project.

3. For their alleged actions, Tan faces one charge under Section 6(a) of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1960 (“PCA”) and Tey faces one charge under Section 6(b) of the PCA, with each charge amalgamated under Section 124(4) of the Criminal Procedure Code 2010 (“CPC”) and punishable under Section 124(8)(a)(ii) of the CPC.

Alleged Falsification of Accounts Offence

4. In November 2024, Tan allegedly instigated another individual to issue a fictitious invoice for S$50,000 from the said individual’s company to Hoe Guan Enterprise for a “Lucky Plaza Consultancy Fee” when in fact this company did not provide any services to Hoe Guan Enterprise.

5. For his alleged action, Tan faces one charge under Section 477A read with Section 109 of the Penal Code 1871 (“PC”).

Alleged Cheating Offences

6. On two separate occasions in May 2023, Tan allegedly instigated two individuals from different companies to provide a quotation for the DIW tender. This was to allegedly deceive the MCST into believing that the quotations submitted by these two companies were independent when they were not. Consequently, these acts dishonestly induced the MCST to award the DIW consultancy services project to TSM Consultants at S$60,800.

7. For his alleged actions, Tan faces two charges under Section 420 read with Section 109 of the PC.

8. Singapore adopts a strict zero-tolerance approach towards corruption. Any person convicted of a corruption offence punishable under Section 6 of the PCA can be fined up to S$100,000 or sentenced to imprisonment not exceeding five years or to both. Any person convicted of cheating under Section 420 of the PC shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 10 years, and shall also be liable to a fine. Any person convicted of an offence under Section 477A of the PC can be fined or sentenced to imprisonment of up to 10 years or both. Any person convicted of an amalgamated charge punishable under Section 124(8)(a)(ii) of the CPC can face twice the amount of punishment liable for that offence.
