The former secretary for transport and public works, Ao Man Long who took a
cool US$100
million in bribes and now is serving a 27-year jail sentence for serious
corruption charges,
admitted yesterday to having received money from companies including Seng Meng
Fai.
Ao was a witness in his family’s trial and rejected claims that his relatives
and wife had
knowledge of what the former secretary was doing. Ao also told the court his
family did what he
asked without ever questioning him or the activities involving grand sums of
money and offshore
accounts.
The court repeatedly heard how the former secretary’s family trusted Ao and
his decisions.
However, Ao confessed to receiving large sums of money, but said it had not
been in the way
described in the indictment against him.
The payments were made in increments for services provided to those companies,
however they
did not affect the outcome or the process of the public tenders and winning
bidders, the court
heard.
The court also heard that Ho Meng Fai had made payments to bank accounts under
Ao’s family
members’ names, but were managed by the former secretary. The money was not
related to
bribery nor was it related to corruption, Ao told the court.
The money was “simplyâ€� for services Ecoline, one of Ao’s shell
companies, had carried
out, the former secretary said, adding that for the Macau Dome, Ho Meng Fai had
sought
services from Ecoline to contact a projects concession company from the
mainland.
The court heard that this was an example of the types of services Ecoline
carried out.
Ao also said that this time, unlike previously, he was telling the truth. But
he was unable to
itemise all the works where such services and payments were made, saying that
the prosecution
would have to ask the deceased Lee Se Chong, who had all the companies’
contacts.
The court also heard that Ao had only had access to Ecoline in 2006 after
the manager Lee Se
Chong died.

Please notice "after the manager". The HTML of this part is very simple,

but contains two consecutive spaces.
Hope this helps to improve your tool, which looks quite good.
