THREE people who allegedly colluded with one another to cheat OCBC Bank of mortgage loans in the millions were charged in a district court on Thursday. The trio face between 31 and 189 charges.
Former bank employee Winnie Goh Li Ching, 33, faces the most number of offences of cheating, involving about $61 million worth of loans.
Court documents show that on 14 occasions, she allegedly schemed with real estate agents Siti Rahayu Masud, 38, and Lau Thuan Heng, 62, to cheat the bank into giving mortgage loans totalling $11 million to applicants by submitting false income tax or Central Provident Fund documents between December 2005 and May 2006.
Goh is said to have acted alone on 30 occasions and schemed with several others 140 times to cheat the bank into disbursing loans of between $1,350 and $2.2 million. Her alleged offences occurred between 2004 and 2006.
Siti and Lau, both bankrupts, also face charges under the Bankruptcy Act.
Siti is also accused of abetting a man to give a written false information to officers of the Insolvency & Public Trustee's Office in 2006, causing two sums amounting to $155,374 to be released to him.
33-year-old Winnie Goh Li Ching allegedly committed the offences between 2004 and 2006.
In most of the cases, she is believed to have conspired with her alleged accomplices to submit documents such as notices of assessment from the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore which contained false salary details.
She allegedly deceived the bank into approving loans by doing so.
Goh, who is out on a bail of S$700,000, is represented by lawyer, Chen Chee Yen.
Her case will be mentioned again on June 9.
Two of her alleged accomplices, both real estate agents, were also charged in court Thursday.
38-year-old Siti Rahayu Masud faces 92 charges, and 62-year-old Lau Thuan Heng faces 31.
Among their charges, the pair allegedly worked together with Goh to cheat OCBC into approving loans totalling more than S$11 million.
Both were offered bail of S$500,000 each and the court heard that they intend to engage lawyers.
They will be back in court on May 26.
If convicted of cheating, the trio can each be jailed up to seven years and fined for each charge.
