A former senior vice-president of Singapore Press Holdings is expected to plead guilty to three of 10 charges of corruption and criminal breach of trust.

Counsel for Peter Khoo Chong Meng, 49, Mr Alfonso Ang, told the court on Tuesday that his client would plead guilty and had always intended to do so.

Khoo, who was with the English and Malay Newspapers Division, allegedly received $83,500 in kickbacks between July 2006 and August 2010 from Mr Liaw Kim Chew, whose firm Sino British Industries was a supplier for SPH.

He has also been charged with two counts of misappropriating $23,095 worth of shopping vouchers from SPH intended for the branding and promotion activities of The Straits Times.
