CO-FOUNDER and managing director of Hotel Properties Limited : H15 0% (HPL), Ong Beng Seng, has been asked by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) to provide information on his interactions with Minister for Transport S Iswaran.
The minister is currently on a leave of absence while assisting in CPIB investigations into a case uncovered by the anti-graft agency.
While details of the probe have yet to be revealed, Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Wednesday (Jul 12) stated that the government and PAP will not sweep anything under the carpet, even if disclosure is potentially embarrassing or damaging.
Though no charges have been filed against Ong, he was issued a notice of arrest and has posted bail of S$100,000, said HPL on Friday.
Ong will be travelling from Jul 14 and will surrender his passport to CPIB upon his return to Singapore.
