Ex-MediaCorp staff jailed over voucher scam

 

By Elena Chong, Courts Correspondent

 

A FORMER MediaCorp Enterprises employee was sentenced to three months' jail and ordered to pay a penalty of $5,900 on Wednesday for corruption.

Teh Gim Leng, 29, was a senior accounts manager of integrated media when he conspired with Alan Leng Chih Wei to rig Shell's promotion draw.

 

Leng has not been charged.

 

Shell organised a promotion campaign known as 'Free fuel for a year, one lucky winner a day' between Sept 24 and Oct 31 last year.

 

A winner would be picked each day and DJs of Class 95 would announce the winner on air.

 

Teh was in charge of selling advertisements on radio and TV in Channel NewsAsia and also in Today newspaper.

 

He used his computer to select the daily winner and e-mail the result to Shell.

 

Shell would call the winner to collect the prize of $5,000 worth of Shell vouchers.

 

After the winners had collected their prizes, they would pass some vouchers to Teh.

 

Teh, who faced 16 charges, pleaded guilty to five charges.

 

Three were for corruptly accepting bribes in the form of two Shell fuel vouchers totalling $4,500 and cash of $1,400, and two for agreeing to accept vouchers worth $5,500.

 

The total amount he agreed to accept on 13 occasions was $30,000.

 

Pleading for leniency, Teh said he regretted his offences which were committed out of greed and foolishness.

 

He was given until next Wednesday to begin his sentence.

 

He could have been fined up to $100,000 and/or jailed for up to five years on each charge.
