He offered bribes to Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers, Certis Aviation security officers, and customer service officers, with amounts ranging from S$100 to S$150. The eight individuals involved in the alleged bribery attempts rejected the offers. If found guilty, Zhang could face a fine of up to S$100,000 or a jail term of up to five years for violating the Prevention of Corruption Act. The case has been referred to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) for further investigation.",
