Despite being charged for four counts of obtaining sexual favours, all in the form of oral sex, the highly effective corruption busters at CPIB could not find any further evidence of sexual intercourse. Ng, being a highly accomplished policeman, could have employed counter-measures to conceal his acts of infidelity.

Ex-CNB chief claims trial in sex-for-contracts case
By Deborah Choo | Yahoo! Newsroom
Former Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) chief Ng Boon Gay will be claiming trial for all four charges of corruption in the sex-for-favours case.
The 46-year old has been accused of obtaining sexual favours – all in the form of oral sex – from Cecilia Sue Siew Nang, a sales manager of two IT vendors, in return for "furthering the business interests" of the companies she was working for.
Ng’s lawyers - senior counsel Tan Chee Meng and Melanie Ho from WongPartnership – had previously refrained from deciding if Ng would claim trial pending the release of more information and how the charges against Ng had helped “further the business interests” of the companies.
In a media statement on Thursday afternoon, the lawyers said they have yet to be provide with the requested information.
Sue was a sales manager with Hitachi Data Systems from June to November 2011. It was during this period that Ng’s first two offences were committed. Sue joined Oracle Corporation Singapore a month later as senior sales manager.
According to the charge sheets, the first two alleged sexual encounters took place when Sue was in Hitachi – the first between June and July last year, and the between last October and November. The third and fourth incidents allegedly happened in December when Sue was in Oracle. The specific locations, however, were not stated.
Ng’s wife, Yap Yen Yen, previously voiced her support for him in a statement and said she never doubted his professional integrity.
Sex-for-business case: Ex-CNB chief to claim trial
SINGAPORE - Former Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) chief Ng Boon Gay has announced through his lawyers that he will be claiming trial for all four charges of corruption he is facing in relation to the high profile sex-for-business case.
The 46-year-old Ng had allegedly received sexual gratification from Ms Cecilia Sue Siew Nang, who was then an employee of IT vendors Oracle Corporation Singapore and Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), in return for "furthering the business interests" of the companies she was working for.
The Straits Times (ST) reported that his lawyers had previously said that is too premature for Ng to decide if he will claim trial against the corruption charges he faces as the particulars of the case were not yet made available.
In a media statement released to the press yesterday, the lawyers reiterated that they have yet to be given the specifics of the charges brought against Ng.
Ng's lawyer had previously raised to the court that the charges against Ng did not clarify how he had helped "further the business interests" of the companies.
Senior Counsel Tan Chee Meng and Ms Melanie Ho said yesterday that the generality of the charges is a point they intend to bring before the trial judge.
His lawyers are asking for the prosecution to reveal what are the supposed corrupt acts after the alleged trysts between Ng and Sue, as well as the business interests that were allegedly furthered.
According to a previous ST report, it is believed that Oracle had no IT-related dealings with CNB during Ng's term as chief between February last year and his suspension on Jan 25.
In addition, HDS, believed to be a sub-contractor for CNB's IT tenders, was not directly awarded any contracts by the agency.
An earlier report in ST said that although the charge sheets stated that alleged trysts between Ms Sue and Ng happened over a period of six months, both are said to have been close since 2009.
Ng's wife said in a statement to the media that she has never doubted his professional integrity and will continue to stand by him.

Editor's Note: Ng Boon Gay was subsequently found NOT GUILTY by the court as he was able to prove that Ms Sue and him were lovers. Well, in the eye of the law, there is no offence for being adulterers.
Dear Blogger, I guess Ng Boon Gay's story should not be left in your Hall Of Shame blog any more as He is not guilty of Corruption and receiving 4 blow job from a lover is not a crime. Or you can do an update about his case to fix his damaged reputation.
