A man has been charged in court for allegedly committing corruption offences while he was commercial executive of Sembcorp Marine Integrated Yard.

Balakrishnan Govindasamy, 61, is alleged to have corruptly obtained and attempted to obtain gratifications from contractors totalling at least SGD 202,877 ($150,000) between 2015 and 2021.

Singapore’s Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) said these gratifications allegedly came from nine unnamed contractors representing different companies.
