Former CNB Director Ng Boon Gay charged for having oral sex with Cecilia Sue Siew Nang

Posted by temasektimes on June 12, 2012

Former Central Narcotics Bureau chief Ng Boon Gay has been charged with four counts of corruptly obtaining sexual gratification from a woman, who was a sales manager of two IT vendors – Hitachi Data Systems and Oracle Corporation Singapore.

Ng was accused of ‘allegedly’ having oral sex with Cecilia Sue Siew Nang on four occasions, between June and December 2011. It is not revealed if he enjoyed oral sex from her in a car like former SCDF chief Peter Lim Sin Pang as well who was charged earlier for similar offences.

In return for her ‘special services’, Ng promised to advance the business interests of the two IT companies represented by her in their dealings with CNB.

Ng pleaded not guilty to all four charges and posted bail at $10,000.

He is represented by Senior Counsel Tan Chee Meng and Ms Melanie Ho from WongPartnership.

Four men in underage prostitute case ‘surrendered’ and pleaded guilty

Posted by temasektimes on June 12, 2012

Four more men of the 48 charged for having sex with an underage prostitute had thrown in the towel and pleaded guilty.

33-year-old Louis Lee Lip Kian pleaded guilty to his single charge of having sex with the girl on the afternoon of 20 November 2010 while three other men – 25 year old Wilson Oei, 31 year olds Pyi Kyaw Han and Chiang Meng Chuan have all decided to plead guilty.

The first person to plead guilty is the ex-principal of Pei Chun Public School Lee Lip Hong (pic left) who was recently released from prison after serving a 6 week sentence.

Meanwhile, criminal lawyer Subhas Anandan who is representing ten men said they will fight all the charges.

Speaking to queries from the media after a round of closed pre-trial conferences on Monday, Mr Subhas once again objected to the prosecution’s application for a gag order on the girl’s name:

“She (will have to testify) if they are going to trial….I objected to it [the gag order] on the basis that the provisions of the law do not protect people like her because she’s not a victim of rape or molest, and provisions do not apply,” he said.

Filipino now fear being mobbed by angry Singaporeans in Singapore

Posted by temasektimes on June 12, 2012

Hello, I am a Filipino working in Singapore. First off, I really feel sad that many Singaporeans now want us Pinoys to go back home and starve. It is also very hurtful having the Filipino singled out in this attack. I try to be a good visiting worker in Singapore, but nowadays, I no longer feel safe when walking outside on the streets. I’m scared of being mobbed by angry locals or something. I really hope this racial friction will stop in the near future.

The reason we Pinoys are here is to look for a better life, nobody has any right to hate us for that, provided the Pinoy qualifies for the job.

The reason locals are mad at Pinoys is because you feel that we took jobs away from you. Nobody can be angry at you for it, I for one understand your sentiments.

I would even go as far as agreeing to you that there are some Pinoys that does not qualify to work in Singapore. I have seen Pinoys who act as if it was their birth right to work in Singapore, or Pinoys who talk very loud in the bus or MRT, or Pinoys who smoke in non-smoking areas, or small brain Pinoys who give out stupid comments like ‘malays is a f*****g bastard’.

I assure you that there are a lot of Pinoys like me who do not like how some Pinoys are acting in Singapore. I am not trying to be a Singaporean or be timid about the whole situation, I am saying that I agree that ‘SOME’ Pinoys do not deserve to work here, but a lot of us do and a lot of us feel that the facebook page is unfair for us trying our best to proper in Singpaore. I just hope you will see that not all Pinoys are as stupid or arrogant as you think.

Thank you for giving us a chance to work here and I hope we can all live peacefully together.

The announcement was made via the Government Gazette on Monday.
