SINGAPORE — Entrusted with pre-signed blank cheques as an administrative manager at a surgical clinic, Fauziah Mat Perlam managed to misappropriate about S$550,000 over nearly two years using various methods, including issuing these cheques to her friends and getting them to return the money.


She later claimed to have spent the money for personal and family purposes, such as gambling and settling her credit card and unlicensed moneylending debts.

On Thursday (April 21), the 47-year-old Singaporean was sentenced to three years and four months’ jail.


She pleaded guilty in a district court to two charges of criminal breach of trust by an employee, as well as another charge of cheating.


Two other criminal breach of trust charges were taken into consideration for sentencing.

Quite a good deal leh.

Let's assume she earns $3,000 per month in her job. $550,000 divide by $3,000 = 183 months (15 years).
