WENT ON LEAVE AND NEVER RETURNED Koh travelled to Shanghai on Jul 9, 2007 after going on leave the same day.
While in China, he learned about the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau's investigations against him and decided not to return to Singapore.
On Jul 16, 2007, Koh was due to report for duty as a police officer but he did not show up.
While in China, Koh committed offences which were not revealed in court documents. He was arrested and jailed.
After he was released, Koh was repatriated to Singapore and arrested at Changi Airport on Apr 28, 2024.
In total, he deserted his post for 16 years, nine months and 13 days. Koh has been in custody since he was arrested.
Deputy Public Prosecutor David Menon argued for Koh to be jailed between nine and 11 years.
"The accused held a very senior rank, as Assistant Superintendent of Police. In this position, he was entrusted with command over a team of officers. He was expected to lead by example, but he fell woefully short of these standards," said Mr Menon.
"Worse, the accused abused his position as a senior police officer in CID by disclosing confidential operational information to Ah Hoe in the form of tip-offs, as well as helping Ah Hoe to check on one of his associates who was in police custody."
Koh is expected to be sentenced on May 26.
