HE IS a former government scholar and a married man who held the top position in the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB).
But Ng Boon Gay, 46, is said to have had oral sex with another woman on four occasions, in exchange for helping her further the business of two IT companies she had worked for.
Ng was yesterday charged in court with four counts of sex-related corruption, where he obtained sexual gratification from Ms Cecilia Sue Siew Nang.
He is alleged to have done so to further the business interests of Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) and Oracle Corporation Singapore as information-technology vendors.
The alleged trysts allegedly happened between June and December last year.
One of the alleged offences was said to have taken place sometime between June and July last year and another, sometime between October and November, when Ms Sue was a sales manager with HDS.
The remaining two alleged encounters allegedly took place in early December while she was a senior sales manager of Oracle Corporation Singapore.
The charge sheets did not provide details of the locations of the alleged trysts, and Ng pleaded not guilty to all charges.
He is represented by Senior Counsel Tan Chee Meng and lawyer Melanie Ho, from law firm Wong Partnership.
The lawyers issued a statement to the media yesterday afternoon which said: “Personal indiscretions aside, Boon Gay firmly believes he is not a corrupt officer.”
Our subject today is the five building blocks of any good column: seduction, thongs, sexism, politics and hypocrisy. And thongs. Or did I already mention thongs? It began a few weeks ago when I was reading a story summing up the trial of John Edwards, the former Democratic senator, presidential candidate and vice presidential nominee. … Read more
It also said that the charges “as framed are very general in nature”. The lawyers added that they will write to the Deputy Public Prosecutor to ask particularly how Ng had allegedly assisted in furthering the interests of the two companies, and what these interests were.
The statement also included a line from Ng’s wife, which read: “I have never doubted his professional iintegrity and will continue to stand by him.”
According to online marriage records, Ng married a Ms Yap Yen Yen in 1994. Ng arrived at the Subordinate Courts yesterday in a white MaxiCab, accompanied by his wife and lawyers, at about 9am.
His face was expressionless as he entered the building.
When contacted, HDS said that “any alleged inappropriate behaviour attributed to our former employee (Ms Sue) during her time at HDS, was undertaken without the knowledge of, or being condoned by, anyone at HDS”.
It added that the company has not been informed that it is the subject of any investigation.
Oracle could not be reached for comment.
If convicted, Ng faces a fine of up to $100,000 and a jail term of up to five years, or both, on each charge. He is currently out on $10,000 bail and is due back in court on June 26.
The Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau arrested Ng on Dec 19 last year, two weeks before former Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) commissioner Peter Lim Sin Pang was nabbed.
Lim, 52, was charged last week with 10 counts of corruption.
He was alleged to have had trysts with three women, in exchange for favouring their firms during IT-related tenders held by the SCDF.
The alleged offences allegedly took place in public places such as carparks, in apartments in Clementi and Tanjong Rhu, and even in a hotel in Paris, France.
A few days ago we heard the plans by the MCA president to contest in the next GE. He hasn’t decided where to context professing humility that even though he’s president and a winnable candidate, he can’t impose his will anywhere. So where will CSL contest now that he has revealed that 3 MBs of Johore, Perak and Negeri Sembilan have offered him seats to contest?
It’s difficult to believe by that admission; it’s also true that the MCA president hasn’t got a place to contest. How is that possible when he has declared, or self-declared that he is a winnable candidate? The more important question here is MCA a winnable party?
In a speech celebrating the oncoming Deepavali celebrations, Chua declared that he has received invitations from the MBs of Johor, Perak and Negeri Sembilan to contest. The speech made in Seremban is significant in several aspects.
For it was in Seremban in 1982, the MCA presiden then, Lee San Choon contested in Seremban against the then DAP chairman, Dr Chen Man Hing. Lee San Choon won after MCA and BN spent millions of Ringgit directly inducing voters to vote for the MCA president. That was the costliest victory won by an MCA president. MCA literally went on a spending free on that day- it bought everyone it can shove money to. Malay votes were delivered by the usual suspects of political wheeler dealers. The contest was dubbed as the clash of the Chinese Titans.
Cua Soi Lek must be thinking that it’s possible for him to repeat that feat. He is now the MCA president. But one ingredient to that thinking is missing- the men representing his opponent in Chinese leadership are not standing in Seremban. Lim Guan Eng is in Penang and Lim Kit Siang is in Perak. So for CSL to repeat the feat of a former MCA president he has to choose a battleground where his appropriate opponent stands.
That was what the contest between Lee San Choon and Chen Man Hing represented. It represented not only a contest between money power of the MCA and the dogged determination of Dr Chen; it was in reality, a contest to earn the bragging rights as to who is the leader of the Chinese community. Lee San Choon was out to prove that there can only be one tiger on top of the mountain.
To me then, CSL must retrace the steps taken by Lee San Choon in its entirety. He must stand in a place where he will contest against a worthy opponent. Now is the time to show his much talked about strength in character. That can only be proven if he either takes on Lim Kit Siang or Lim Guan Eng. That clash will prove once and for all, which Chinese leader is more relevant to the community presently.
Let us write in to support the idea for CSL to fight either Kit Siang or Guan Eng. We want to see the much fabled aggressiveness of CSL on a differentbed stage. If he insists that he must contest against his equivalent as party president, he can opt to contest against the indomitable Karpal Singh, the DAP chairman.
But the idea of CSL contesting in Seremban is also titillating; if CSL chooses to do battle in Seremban, now is the time for the Seremban folks to redeem what their predecessors did in 1982. Let the Seremban folks give CSL the biggest blow-job ever

Prostitution: Illegal in Most of the U.S.
Illegal behavior, and often even may have something catching.. Except for a few counties in the state of Nevada, prostitution — and being the customer of prostitutes — is illegal in the United States.
