Soh Jun Sheng, a 23-year-old Malaysian and Singapore Permanent Resident, joined IT company NCS from Mar 26 last year, the court heard. This was while he was on court bail for breaking into a house in Chiselhurst Grove to steal S$4,650 worth of electronic items on Nov 16, 2017. As part of his new job with NCS, Soh provided IT support to IMDA as directed by the NCS service desk, issuing or changing laptops for IMDA employees. He was given access to a few secure rooms in IMDA, where computers and accessories were kept, and decided to steal from these rooms to pay off debts to his father, close friend and the bank. Within weeks of joining the company, Soh began stealing items from IMDA, including 30 Lenovo ThinkPad laptops, six iPads, six Lenovo monitors, 17 docking stations, 80 Lenovo power adaptors, 25 laptop bags, and 32 Lenovo mice.
