“The dinner with minister Chee was held on Nov 19, 2020, the dinner with Mr Ng was held on May 1, 2021, and the dinner with minister Ong was held on May 10, 2022,” he said.
Mr Goi had earlier told Bloomberg News that the dinner involving Mr Ng took place “around 2020”.
“The group size on each occasion was in full compliance with the applicable Covid safe management measures at the material time,” he said on May 9.
At the time of the dinner with Mr Ng on May 1, 2021, for example, people were allowed to gather only in groups of eight.
Mr Ng, the secretary-general of the National Trades Union Congress, had said the dinner took place some time back. He added in a statement on May 6, 2025, that he had no further interactions with Su after police investigations and criminal charges were brought against the man.
He said it is part of his work as labour chief to engage with different companies and private-sector leaders.
Also on May 6, the press secretaries of Mr Ong and Mr Chee said in a statement that the ministers do not know Su personally, and do not have any contact with him.
Their statement added: “As ministers, they meet a diverse range of people at various events and gatherings. They attended the dinners at the invitation of a friend, and Su happened to be there.”
Su, a Cypriot national, faced 14 charges and was sentenced to 14 months in jail on April 4, 2024. He was deported to Cambodia on May 28 the same year.
He was one of 10 people found guilty of being involved in a $3 billion money laundering case, which is one of Singapore’s largest.
Su was arrested following islandwide raids by the police’s Commercial Affairs Department at luxury homes across Singapore. While attempting to escape, he jumped off the balcony of the good class bungalow he was renting in Ewart Park in Bukit Timah, and fractured his feet and wrist.
Mr Derek Goh, executive chairman and group chief executive of Serial System, a distributor of electronic components and consumer products, was also at the May 1, 2021 dinner with Su and Mr Ng, The Straits Times has learnt.
Mr Goh told ST in a phone interview on May 7 that Mr Goi would “sometimes call us to have dinner and socialise”.
When asked, Mr Goh said he did not know why Su was at that dinner.
“It was just a social networking event. I just met them at the dinner,” he said.
“But if I had known then that Su was in the money-laundering line, I would not have gone.”
