SINGAPORE — The trial involving the National Parks Board (NParks) officer who is accused of lying to auditors that he did not know a bicycle supplier in the Brompton bikes case concluded this morning (April 15).
Bernard Lim Yong Soon had been expected to take the stand after District Judge Marvin Bay ruled earlier this month that he had a case to answer, as the Judge found that prosecutors had established a prima facie case.

With the conclusion of trial proceedings, Mr Bay is expected to deliver his verdict on May 29.
