The chairman of a residential building's incorporated owners body and a construction company director have been jailed by the District Court for bribery.

Hong Lai Garden incorporated owners chairman and Fu Hang Industrial Building executive officer Chan Shu-kong, 57, was jailed two years, while Chan Kam-sang, alias Chan Che-kang, 44, director-cum-shareholder of Win Yat Construction was jailed 18 months.

Chan Shu-kong was found guilty of five counts of soliciting an advantage and nine of accepting an advantage, while Chan Kam-sang was convicted of two counts of offering an advantage.

Between January 2004 and January 2005, Chan Shu-kong solicited and accepted a total of $10,000 from the proprietor of an environmental protection service company, as reward for placing manhole cleaning orders for the industrial building with the environmental company.

On October 5, 2004, Chan Kam-sang offered a television to Chan Shu-kong as reward for persuading his committee members not to conduct another tendering exercise in relation to a renovation contract, but to put forward the four short-listed contractors, including Win Yat. Chan Shu-kong accepted the television and a free tour to Thailand from Chan Kam-sang.
