TWO men were charged yesterday with conspiring with another to cook up a story about a fake car accident and making a false insurance claim over it.

Andy Ong Thiam Chuan, 32, and Charlie Ong Han Wee, 31, are accused of engaging with Mr Tay Kok Leong to cheat AIG Insurance in August 2007.

The pair are said to have stated false witness and accident details in an accident statement at a Kim Chuan Terrace motor workshop, on a form given to AXA Insurance to process the claim from AIG Insurance.
