Former SPRING manager charged with attempting to obtain kickbacks
SINGAPORE: Lee Hock Yen, an ex-senior manager with SPRING
Singapore, has been charged with attempting to obtain gratification in
the form of a referral fee.
The Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau's investigations showed
that the 54-year-old Lee suggested to the sales manager of Hitachi to
mark up professional fees the firm was charging Rayco Technologies by
S$10,000 to S$20,000.
This was so that the amount could be given to the accused as his referral fee in May 2006.
However, Hitachi Asia rejected the demand.
