Ong Beng Seng, Singapore F1 tycoon, to plead guilty in Iswaran case

Property tycoon Ong Beng Seng, who faces two charges in relation to former transport minister S Iswaran's case, is set to plead guilty in court on July 3. Advertisement This was after a pre-trial conference for Ong's case took place on Tuesday. Court records did not state if he would be pleading guilty to both charges or one charge, and if so, which one. His bail, which is set at S$800,000 (US$620,000), was extended. Ong, 79, has been undergoing chemotherapy for bone marrow cancer. He previously obtained permission to travel abroad for medical-related purposes. He was originally set to plead guilty on April 2, but this was rescheduled after he asked for time to obtain more detailed medical reports from his doctors. Advertisement Two people close to Ong previously confirmed his condition to CNA Digital, with one saying he has multiple myeloma.
