AN UNEMPLOYED man was charged in a district court on Monday with four counts of stealing chips from two gamers at Resorts World Sentosa last Saturday. Wong Fui, 27, a Malaysian, allegedly stole a total of eight RWS $5 colour chips worth $40 from Ms Tan Geok Yong, 53, within 30 minutes, and a $100 chip from Mr Lim Chye Meng, 54, at a roulette table. Bail of $10,000 was offered. If convicted, he faces a jail term of up to three years and/or a fine on each charge. Wong, whose passport was impounded, will appear in court on May 3.
