The General Division of the Singapore High Court (High Court) has, in Goh Ngak Eng v Public Prosecutor [2022] SGHC 254, set out a revised sentencing framework for private sector corruption offences under sections 6(a) and (b) of the Prevention of Corruption Act modelled after the two-stage, five-step framework in Logachev Vladislav v Public Prosecutor [2018] 4 SLR 609.
This update takes a look at the High Court’s decision, which also serves as a salutary reminder of the importance of ensuring that all business dealings remain graft-free as well as the consequences of failing to do so.
