BETWEEN 2008 and October 2010, a constituency support officer of the Yuhua community club diverted $50,700 he collected as fees from participants attending courses, into his own pocket.
On Friday, Koh Wee Ngiap, 36, pleaded guilty and was jailed four months by a district court.
The offences came to light when a deputy manager checked the accounts and realised that a large amount of funds was missing.
Koh, now jobless, could have been jailed up to seven years for misappropriating the money.
