Chong Yun Chia was working for KK Iron Engineering at the time of the offences.

Chong Yun Chia, a project manager at construction firm KK Iron Engineering at the time of the offences, was also ordered to pay a penalty of $38,174.

The Singapore Zoological Gardens, now known as the Singapore Zoo, was a subsidiary of Wildlife Reserves Singapore , which also managed the Night Safari. In earlier proceedings, the prosecution told the court that Chong Yun Chia had worked with Koh Kian Hee, To Chai Kiat and Toh Yong Soon to give the bribes to Barry Chong, who has since left WRS.

The quotations WRS received were presented to Barry Chong, and the managers working under him would generally award the jobs to the lowest quotes received.
