Ong is scheduled to appear in court on October 4, according to a court docket. It comes after S. Iswaran, who served as transport minister until his resignation in January, was given a 12-month prison sentence on Thursday for bribery and obstruction of justice.
A spokesperson for Ong declined to comment. The tycoon is the director of Hotel Properties Ltd., a hospitality company listed in Singapore. The company has interests in the Four Seasons hotel chain and develops luxury apartments in cities such as London and Singapore.
