A female employee of computer giant Oracle’s<\/a> Singapore unit was on Tuesday named in a sex-for-favors corruption case involving the former head of the city-state’s anti-narcotics agency.<\/p>\n

Ng Boon Gay, then director of the Central Narcotics Bureau, faces two charges of obtaining sexual gratification from a senior sales manager at Oracle Corporation Singapore Pte Ltd as an inducement to help further the firm’s business interest, Singapore’s anti-corruption agency said.<\/p>\n

The alleged offences took place in December 2011.<\/p>\n

Ng also faces two other charges of obtaining sexual gratification from the same individual when she was an employee of Hitachi Data Systems Pte Ltd (HDS)<\/a>, according to court documents seen by Reuters.<\/p>\n

“Any alleged inappropriate behavior attributed to our former employee during her time at HDS was undertaken without the knowledge of, or being condoned by, anyone at HDS,” a Hitachi spokeswoman said in an emailed statement to Reuters.<\/p>\n

A Oracle Singapore spokeswoman declined comment.<\/p>\n

Ng is currently out on bail.<\/p>\n

The charges against Ng come one week after the former head of Singapore’s civil defense force Peter Lim was charged with accepting sex for favors.<\/p>\n

Lim faces 10 charges and his case involved three different women working for IT firms in the city-state.<\/p>\n
