SINGAPORE: A Singapore court today charged a top property billionaire with obstructing justice and abetting offences by a disgraced ex-transport minister jailed a day earlier in the city-state’s high-profile government graft case, CNA reported.
Ong Beng Seng, the 78-year-old owner of Hotel Properties Ltd and rights holder to the Singapore Grand Prix Formula One race, is accused of giving gifts worth nearly US$300,000 to ex-minister S Iswaran, who yesterday became the first former cabinet member to be jailed in Singapore.
