Two men were sentenced to jail yesterday (October 25 2017) for conspiring to bribe a Housing Board clerk of works to be lenient in his supervision of a construction project more than 20 years ago.

Chang Chan Nam, 55, and Peck Chin Choon, 54, then directors of Chang Choon Huat Construction (CCH), each admitted to five charges of giving cash cheques of $2,400 each between March and July 1994 to Soh Chor Huang.

Chang, who now works as a night-shift concrete truck driver, was given six months’ jail while Peck, whose culpability was lower, was jailed for four months.
