Three former Shell employees charged for corruption

Three former employees of Shell Eastern Petroleum allegedly conspired to bribe companies that inspect vessels that get their fuel from the company.

Juandi Bin Pungot, Muzaffar Ali Khan Bid Muhamad Akram, and Richard Goh Chee Keong were charged for corruption offenses for bribing employees of various surveying companies.

The bribes allegedly offered to these employees total to an approximate $154,000, spent between 2014 and 2017.

Pungot and Akram, both Singaporeans, allegedly conspired to give corrupt gratifications of up to $121,285 to 10 employees of different surveying companies to refrain from accurately reporting the results of their inspections from 2014 to 2017.

Keong, a permanent resident of Singapore, allegedly gave approximately $33,000 to three employees of various surveying companies between 2016 and 2017.

All three were previously charged for their alleged involvement in misapropriating fuel from Shell Bukom.

They could face a fine of up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to imprisonment of up to five years if found guilty.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
