Company Charged for Alleged Corruption Involving Town Council Contract

On 26 October 2026, a company, Atlas Maintenance Pte Ltd (“AMPL”), was charged in Court for alleged corruption.

2. In February 2023, AMPL and Ng Choon Mong (“Choon Mong”), Director of AMPL at the material time, were alleged to be members of a criminal conspiracy that involved giving a bribe of S$50,000 to Ng Yin Hong (“Yin Hong”), a senior project manager at EM Services Private Limited (“EM Services”) as an inducement to advance the business interests of AMPL in relation to a repairs and redecoration contract with West Coast Town Council (“WCTC”). EM Services was the managing agent of WCTC. Both Choon Mong and Yin Hong were previously charged in Court on 7 September 2026 for alleged corruption and money laundering offences. For its alleged action, AMPL faces one charge under Section 6(b) read with Section 7 and Section 31 of the Prevention of Corruption Act (“PCA”).

3. Singapore adopts a strict zero-tolerance approach towards corruption. Any person convicted of a corruption offence 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. Under Section 7 of the PCA, the maximum imprisonment term for each offence of corruption can be increased to 7 years if it is in relation to a matter or contract or sub-contract with the Government or Public Body. Under Section 31 of the PCA, any party to a criminal conspiracy to commit a corruption offence is deemed to have committed that offence and is liable to the punishment provided for that offence.
