Ong Beng Seng to plead guilty on July 3 in case involving ex-minister Iswaran
The Straits Times
|June 11, 2025
Billionaire Ong Beng Seng, who is facing two charges in a case linked to former transport minister S. Iswaran, will be pleading guilty on July 3.
The date was set after his pretrial conference on June 10.
The 79-year-old was previously scheduled to plead guilty on April 2, but the case was adjourned after his lawyers asked for more time to obtain his medical reports.
The property tycoon was charged on Oct 4, 2024, with abetting a public servant in obtaining gifts and with abetting the obstruction of justice.
Under Section 165, it is an offence for a public servant to accept anything of value from any person with whom he is involved in an official capacity without payment or with inadequate payment.
