He allegedly received $107,000 in bribes from 19-ANC Enterprise Pte Ltd and 19-NS2 Enterprise Pte Ltd. Both companies are engaged in building repair and redecoration business.
The bribes include a sum of S$30,000, which was sent to Wong’s mistress in China, Xu Hongmei, in the form of overseas remittances.
