There was a lot more than singing going on at several Karaoke bars in Flushing. Two police officers from the 109th Precinct have been arrested for charges of bribe-taking and more at the karaoke clubs.
Lieutenant Robert Sung, 50, and Detective Yatyu Yam, 37, might end up in prison for a 15-year sentence for taking brides from the clubs’ managers in exchange for dodging drug arrests and giving the clubs warnings that police raids were coming.
The corruption probe, orchestrated by Queens District Attorney Richard Brown, has been going on at the 109th Precinct for about two-and-a-half years, after a witness noticed an exchange regarding under-the-table cash payments between Yam and the manager at Club JJNY, located at 147-38 Northern Blvd in Flushing. Yam also used the app, WeChat, to warn the manager of two Queens clubs about upcoming police raids. Furthermore, he received $2,000 a month from the manager, and even invited him to an August barbecue where the manager delivered one of the $2,000 payments.
Sung instructed an unnamed officer to ignore a deputy inspector’s demand for raids at the clubs, including JJNY. He also told an officer to warn the clubs ahead of state police raids.
Yam was arraigned for second-degree bribe receiving and second-degree receiving rewards for official misconduct on Monday night. He was freed on a $25,000 bail and was suspended by the NYPD. Sung surrendered on Tuesday, with his bail set at $20,000 bond or $10,000 cash.

SING, a musical program in which students write, cast, rehearse and perform their own musicals, is coming to 20 more high schools, including five in Queens.
Thanks to Taylor Swift, who donated in partnership with the Fund for Public Schools, students from Flushing High School can participate in the public school tradition.
“SING gives our high school students an opportunity to work with their peers, and create and execute a project from start to finish,” said Chancellor Carmen Fariña. “This is a wonderful program for developing passions in the arts and for building school and community spirit. In particular, co-located schools will also be collaborating, bringing new excitement and camaraderie for our high schoolers. The SING students are going to gain skills and experience that they can use in college and throughout their lives.”
Bayside High School, John Bowne High School, Martin Van Buren High School and Thomas A. Edison CTE High School will also have SING.
Students will receive training and support as they build their school’s SING programs.
Police are looking for a light-skinned man in his early 20’s that reportedly grabbed a 16-year-old girl’s buttocks in Flushing.

Min-Tsu Lin was engaging in his routine morning stroll when he was struck by a motorcycle on Parsons Blvd. near Rose Ave. in Flushing about 5:45 a.m., the Daily News reported.
The cold-hearted cyclist left his wheels and fled on foot after the accident, police said.
When first responders arrived, the senior was lying in the road unconscious. He was knocked out of his shoes and lying in a pool of his own blood. The upended blue motorcycle lay about 100 feet away, witnesses said.
Lin was rushed to New York-Presbyterian/Queens with critical injuries, officials said.
“His right leg had to be amputated and he has bad bruising,” the victim’s son, Tom Lin, 43, told the Daily News. “He hasn’t been conscious.”
The motorcyclist is still being sought by cops.
How does one go about successfully stealing an eye-catching $450,000 white Lamborghini Aventador convertible?
The Michigan-based firm Pinkerton has launched a private investigation into the missing vehicle that was stolen outside of the Al Oerter Recreation Center on October 28. They are offering a $100,000 reward for anyone who can provide information on the location of the car.
They are worried that the car might already be shipped off to a foreign market in either Asia, Russia, South America, Africa or the Middle East.
“With an exotic car like that, you can’t sell it here and you can’t drive around in it,” Chris McGoey, a private investigator and expert in crime and loss prevention, said to Fox News. “The only option is to ship it overseas, somewhere that nobody really checks on registration of cars.”
Oddly, the NYPD have no police reports regarding the missing vehicle and the car’s ownership hasn’t been identified.
Someone has clearly watched one too many ‘Fast and Furious’ films.
