SINGAPORE - The prosecution made applications to impeach the credit of former Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) Director Ng Boon Gay this afternoon, as it compared his evidence in court to sections of his statements to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB), as well as Ms Cecilia Sue’s statements.

Ng’s lawyer Senior Counsel Tan Chee Meng however raised no objections to the applications, saying he could see no contradictions or discrepancies to his client’s evidence.

Taking the stand for the fourth day in his graft trial earlier this morning, Ng continued to be grilled by the prosecution on his relationship with Ms Sue.

Under cross-examination by Deputy Chief Prosecutor Tan Ken Hwee, Ng continued to stand his ground and reiterated that there was no break in his relationship with Ms Sue which lasted from 2009 up till December last year.

Despite Ng recounting at least two instances when they were physically intimate between the period of Aug 26, 2010 and July last year - during which Ms Sue had testified there were no instances of physical intimacy - the prosecution charged that Ng was fabricating evidence.

The prosecution also sought to show that “flirty messages” Ms Sue sent were not indicative of any intimate relationship she had with Ng, and that there were no messages which explicitly expressed a desire for sexual intimacy between the two, save for the occasion she sent him a message asking “Do you DIY?”

Probed on his evidence that Ms Sue was worried about her pregnancy up till she gave birth in May 2010 - since they had sexual intercourse at an apartment in June 2009 - Ng told the court that Ms Sue had wanted to check his blood group to compare against her daughter’s blood group after she delivered the baby.

Ng also denied Ms Sue’s evidence that she wanted to end their intimate relationship sometime in September or October 2010.

While Ng denied that he would characterise Ms Sue as his lover, when asked by the prosecution, Ng said he would characterise her as his mistress, given the extramarital nature of their relationship.

Cross-examined on his earlier testimony, that Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau deputy director Teng Khee Fatt had pressured him to plead guilty to the charges, Ng stood his ground and maintained that the manner in which Mr Teng had proposed a plea bargain to him was inappropriate.

The trial continues.
