Ex-property agent jailed 12 months for forgery and criminal breach of trust of $37,800
By Elena Chong
SINGAPORE - A former property agent was jailed for 12 months on Tuesday for forgery and criminal breach of trust of $37,800.
Fong Wai Loon, 37, had admitted to forging the signature of businessman Rocky Bastiaan on a 2009 letter, directing the tenant of Mr Bastiaan to pay the rent owed to the businessman to Fong's bank account instead.
Fong misappropriated the rental proceeds amounting to $37,800 collected from the tenant, international law firm Messrs Ince & Co, on behalf of Mr Bastiaan betwen April 30 and Oct 1 that year.
A district court heard that Mr Bastiaan, 48, asked Fong to rent out his apartment in Scotts Road in 2009.
