The tiong is on the brink of going mad ... a likely inmate soon for mental hospital after the court case is over.

Is it worth the money that he got from all the scamming to end up in a mental hospital?

dun think he's insane... tee siao; more likely... his wayang skills as we have seen are unmatched, he's just preparing for his days in a hospital jail hopefully.

he's hoping to 10-12 years - 1/3 remission = 7-8 years, effective from 2014... meaning by 2022, he will be a free man.... definitely worth all the hard work

100% right no matter how you interpret it. Its all up to AG to prosecute, no ifs and buts. How Indranee Rajah and Shanmugam can sleep nights is beyond me.

Yang Yin trial: Former tour guide pleads guilty to criminal breach of trust charges

Wednesday, Aug 17, 2016

SINGAPORE - Yang Yin has been convicted of two criminal breach of trust charges for allegedly misappropriating $1.1 million from a wealthy widow.

His decision to plead guilty came on Tuesday (Aug 16) after 11 days of trial.

After the statement of facts were read out by the prosecution on Tuesday, Yang confirmed through an interpreter that he wishes to plead guilty to two charges.

Sentencing and mitigation for his two criminal of breach charges are expected to take place on Sept 9.

A person convicted of criminal breach of trust could face a jail term of up to seven years, a fine or both.

Yang has been convicted of allegedly misappropriating $500,000 and $600,000 from Madam Chung Khin Chun, 89, in 2010 and 2012 respectively.

The Chinese national had claimed that these were given to him by Madam Chung although he had said in earlier statements that they were used to buy paintings on her behalf. This was a cover up, he claims, as Madam Chung wanted to avoid jealousy and gossip.

The prosecution, however, has produced evidence in court to show that this was untrue.

In May, Yang had pleaded guilty to 120 charges relating to immigration offences and falsification of receipts - 110 charges were for the falsification of receipts made to his company, while the remaining were for immigration and cheating offences, as well as breaking Company Act laws.

He was arrested in September 2014 and charged a month later with a slew of offences, mostly falsifying receipts made to his company, Young Dance and Music Studio, so he could stay in Singapore.

The Straits Times first reported on the case in 2014 when Madam Hedy Mok, Madam Chung's niece, commenced a series of legal actions against Yang in the High Court.

Yang got to know Madam Chung when he acted as her private tour guide during a trip to Beijing in 2008.

知儿弃抗辩 杨寅父母震惊

http://news.omy.sg/News/Local-News/story20160817-469530

杨寅最后一分钟决定放弃抗辩,远在杭州的父母震惊又讶异。

杨寅亲上证人栏抗辩期间,一名女亲人全程到场聆听,不时在休庭期间与律师交谈,前天下午还递手机让杨寅看子女的照片解思念。

不过,杨寅昨早认罪时,却不见她到场,邹天齐律师受访时表示,事后已经致电他的父母告知消息。据知,两人感到震惊和讶异。

杨寅的表姐程小姐(45岁)之前受访时透露,他的妻子和父母是因遭莫翠玲起诉,所以这段期间都不敢到新加坡探望他,担心自己也惹上牢狱之灾。

杨寅的案件展至9月9日,除了两项失信罪外,相信他面对另347项罪名也料同日下判。

Yang Yin trial: Prosecution disputes photos shown in court


Published 3 hours ago

Yang's lawyer says they show he treated widow well; DPP says they were taken on same day after he was sued

Carolyn Khew

To support his case that former tour guide Yang Yin had treated elderly widow Chung Kin Chun well, his lawyer submitted several photographs in court yesterday.

One shows Yang with Madam Chung and a trolley full of groceries at a supermarket.

Another shows the 42-year-old in T-shirt and shorts, trimming the toenails of the childless widow he said he called "grandma".

Other photos show them eating char siew (barbecued pork) rice and him in the driver's seat of a car with her next to him.

Yang, who pleaded guilty to misappropriating $1.1 million from the 89-year-old Madam Chung, maintained that he was her companion, and wanted to "fill a void in her life" when he moved in to live with her from 2009 to 2014.

The photographs were submitted to underscore the point that he took care of her and took her to places where she wanted to go.

The prosecution did not buy this.

Instead, it pointed to the time- stamp on the photos: All of them were taken on Aug 20, 2014 - after Madam Chung's niece Hedy Mok sued him for unduly influencing her aunt into handing over her assets.

"I think the inference is quite clear," said Deputy Public Prosecutor Sanjiv Vaswani, who questioned the purpose of the pictures.

The prosecution asked that the Chinese national be sentenced to 10 to 12 years' imprisonment for misappropriating a total of $1.1 million belonging to the elderly and "vulnerable" victim over two separate occasions- offences which call for a deterrent sentence.

Yang's lawyer, Mr Irving Choh, however, asked for a sentence not exceeding three years. His client, he argued, was a first-time offender and the sole breadwinner of his family.

Moreover, Yang shared a "warm relationship" with the widow who was diagnosed with dementia in 2014. She was lonely and her relatives rarely visited her, the lawyer said.

The $1.1 million Yang took was to pay off his grandmother's medical bills, said Mr Choh. "He does not want to deny that he did indeed take the $1.1 million... His actions were not for personal gain, but a misguided attempt to lift a financial burden which was taking a toll on his family."

According to bank statements, Yang had around $1.1 million in his bank accounts - which was not part of the charges - but he did not abscond even though he had the chance to, said Mr Choh.

DPP Vaswani, however, pointed out that the accused did try to withdraw the money, but was unable to do so as it had been frozen under a court order.

He also highlighted that the $500,000 and $600,000 which Yang had misappropriated from the widow in 2010 and 2012 remained unaccounted for.

The accused had "intentionally fostered an environment of unquestioning trust with Madam Chung", said the DPP. He capitalised on her age and lack of immediate familial support such that his actions were "free from the scrutiny of the eyes of outsiders".

"We urge the court to impose sentences reflecting both the harm and culpability involved in the offences," said DPP Vaswani.

"The lies and cover-ups pursued by the accused at length, years after the actual act of misappropriation was executed, demonstrate the depth of his commitment to deceit and fraud."

Yang's guilty plea should also be "given no weight". He did so only after undergoing 21/2 days of cross- examination, during which he showed numerous inconsistencies.

By this stage, the accused was well aware of the evidence against him, said DPP Vaswani.

Mr Choh said his client changed his mind about pleading guilty due to pressure from his family.

In the dock yesterday, Yang looked solemn as the prosecution and defence gave their submissions. He shook his head at times and turned to look in Madam Chung's direction when he was being led away by the police. Madam Mok, her aunt and other friends were present at the hearing.

Apart from criminal breach of trust charges, Yang had in May pleaded guilty to 120 other charges, mostly related to the falsification of receipts to make it appear that a business he set up was real.

The hearing for his criminal breach of trust charges will resume on Sept 21 for further submissions.

That's more than 5 million renmibi worth of medical bills. What sickness did his grandmother in China suffer from ?

And while his own grandmother was suffering from RMB 5 million worth of sickness in China, the good grandson was taking care of an adopted grandmother in Singapore ?

Irving don't anyhow shoot lah. Got official receipts from government hospitals in China or not ?
