A man convicted of six counts of hacking into the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) integrated resort's computer network was sentenced to two weeks' jail and fined a total of $30,000 on Tuesday.
On one of the occasions, the unauthorised access led to an hour-long power outage at the northern section of the casino on May 12, 2010.
Malaysian Leslie Lew Cheong Wee, 36, who is a Singapore permanent resident, is appealing against conviction and sentence.
He was found guilty after a 14-day trial of six charges under the Computer Misuse Act after securing access to the computer system without the MBS construction manager's consent.
