The drama surrounding a questionable half-million-dollar donation to the ASEAN Football Federation by Tiong Bahru Football Club (TBFC) and Hougang United chairman Bill Ng just can't stop.

Reports by Today and The Straits Times on April 25 revealed that former Football Association of Singapore (FAS) president Zainudin Nordin, FAS General Secretary Winston Lee, Ng and his wife Bonnie Wong are currently out on police bail.

According to Today, the four were initially arrested before being released on bail "to ensure they will return for further investigations."

The Straits Times reported that the bail amounts differ among the individuals and Ng's bail had been set at S$100,000.

The latest developments come in the wake of a police report made by Sports Singapore on April 19 against TBFC for suspected misuse of club funds, and an investigation into allegations of a senior official – understood to be Ng – attempting to obstruct the completing of audits of three S.League sit-out clubs.

The police report had also prompted a dramatic police raid on the FAS, and the clubhouses of the three football clubs – Hougang United, TBFC, and Woodlands Wellington FC (WWFC) the next day.

Zainudin is currently a deputy principal (development) at the Institute of Technical Education College East. He was a former PAP Member of Parliament, and had helmed the FAS from 2009-2016.

Besides making brief comments to the media after being questioned by the authorities, he has kept a low profile since the saga erupted on April 13.

Despite the ongoing investigations, the FAS inaugural election on April 29 is set to proceed.

Team Game Changers led by Ng are facing off with Team LKT helmed by former FAS vice-president Lim Kia Tong.
