SPH veteran sacked for receiving illegal payments, misappropriating vouchers

Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) said it has dismissed Mr Peter Khoo Chong Meng, a senior vice-president in the English and Malay Newspapers Division, after he voluntarily admitted to receiving illegal payments and misappropriating shopping vouchers handled by his Editorial Projects Unit.

Mr Khoo also chaired the organising committee which coordinates events and activities to raise funds for The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund.

Mr Han Fook Kwang, editor of The Straits Times, said: "This is a big setback for us. While we do not believe The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund was involved, I would like to assure our many donors and supporters that it is our top priority to maintain the integrity of The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund."
