Court documents stated that, among other things, Alvin Lee May Sim obtained bribes from Nazarisham Mohamad Isa and Abdul Razeez Mohamad Rasit as inducements to advance the business interests of the pair's firm with CCPS.
On Tuesday, Lee, 43, pleaded guilty to six charges, mainly those under the Prevention of Corruption Act, and was sentenced to a year in jail.
He was also ordered to pay a penalty of nearly $79,700 and will spend an additional six weeks behind bars if he fails to fork out the amount.
The cases involving Razeez, 37, and Nazarisham, 44, are pending.
In an earlier statement, Certis said Lee was removed from all duties immediately when it learnt that he would be investigated by the authorities. He resigned on Dec 31, 2019.
Deputy Public Prosecutors Thiagesh Sukumaran and Tay Zhi Jie said that CCPS is a firm in the Certis Cisco group of companies.
