Mongolia is in the tourism spotlight and its government is making it easier to visit.

SINGAPORE: The sole proprietor of a maintenance and renovation company gave bribes totalling more than S$235 ,000 to a director of facilities management at the Singapore Zoological Gardens.The prosecution said Chong Chee Wai, who owned Katana Engineering at the time of the offences, gave the bribes to Barry Chong Peng Wee, 57, who has since left WRS, now known as the Mandai Wildlife Group.

Fifteen other charges relating to the remaining amount were considered during sentencing. He committed the offences in 2014 and 2015. The DPPs told the court that Barry Chong would ensure WRS-related jobs were awarded to SYC in exchange for monetary commissions. “The quotations received by WRS would be collated and presented to Barry and the managers working under him, who would generally award the job to the lowest quote received.”
