A 30-year-old Singaporean female was sentenced to 3 years and 9 months’ imprisonment for cheating offences when he was working as the Assistant Manager of UE ServiceCorp Singapore.

According to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) in a press release on Tuesday (4 December), Ng Shu Jun was involved in a cheating scheme devised by Linda Lee, a former Vice-President (Asset Management) of United Engineers Developments Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of UEL and one Tan Aik Gee, who was employed by Ying Xin Services.

Lee and Tan Aik Gee siphoned monies from UEL using Lee’s position in the company to request for fictitious job requests in UEL’s system, and then certified and awarded these fictitious works to several companies beginning in 2009. These jobs were never carried out. When payment was made to these companies, the monies would then be split between Lee and Tan Aik Gee.

Sometime in 2011, one Wong Weng Kong (“Wong”), a freelance contractor, was roped into the scheme to provide letterheads from TW Construction Engineering to create fictitious quotations. In 2013 and 2014, Wong set-up another 5 companies under the name of his wife and his daughter. The letterheads of these companies were also given to Lee to create the fictitious quotations and to get monies out from UEL through fictitious job requests.

In 2013 and 2015 respectively, Lee approached two of her staff, Ng and one Tan Kiam Boon to help out in the scheme. They were given various letterheads and tasked to create fictitious quotations in exchange for or were promised benefits from Lee. In total, UEL was deceived into paying more than $10,000,000 for works that were never carried out.

Ng’s employment was terminated by UEL in June 2015.

Ng was then charged with 16 counts  for her role of conspiring with Lee, Tan Aik Gee and Wong to cheat UEL by providing fictitious quotations to dishonestly induce UEL to pay approximately $4,619,000 for works that were never carried out.

The matter is punishable under Section 420 read with Section 109 of the Penal Code, Chapter 224. Ng faces another charge of attempting to conspire with Lee to dishonestly induce UEL to pay approximately $19,000 for works which were not done, an offence under Section 420 read with Section 116 of the Penal Code, Chapter 224.

Lee, who had obtained approximately $4,977,000 from this illicit cheating scheme has been sentenced to 12.5 years’ imprisonment for cheating and money laundering offences on 2 October 2018.

CPIB stated that it had seized several bank accounts, insurance policies, properties and over 500 luxury items and branded apparels belonging to Lee in the course of investigation. Of these, about $2,470,000 have been recovered and released to UEL.

Tan Aik Gee was sentenced to 11 years’ imprisonment and a fine of $900,000, while Wong was sentenced to 6 years’ and 3 months’ imprisonment and a fine of $210,000 on 12 November 2018. The CPIB has also seized about $208,000 from Tan Aik Gee, which has been released to UEL.

Tan Kiam Boon has been sentenced to 3 months’ imprisonment for his role in this cheating scheme on 11 September 2018.
