Prosecution to pursue 1 out of 10 charges against ex-SCDF chief

The prosecution will proceed on only one out of the 10 corruption charges earlier tendered against former Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) chief Peter Lim Sin Pang.

The charge involves him obtaining sex from Nimrod Engineering's Pang Chor Mui, in exchange for advancing the business interests of her company with the SCDF.

The nine remaining charges, which involve sex with two other women, will be stood down for now.

This was revealed by Lim's lawyers Hamidul Haq and K Bala Chandran, after a pre trial conference with the prosecution on Friday.
