Jailed for forging tickets
By Elena Chong
A FORMER assistant manager of a cinema who forged 20 movie tickets and sold them to customers was jailed for six months on Tuesday.
Goh Kah Wee, 31, was attached to Eng Wah - Sun Plaza in Sembawang when he committed the offence on Feb 20, 2006.
Investigations showed that Goh came up with a plan to sell forged movie tickets. He used a label design program on his laptop to create a template similar to the movie tickets issued by the cinema.
He then connected his laptop to the printer at the box office of the cinema.
After printing them, he enlisted the help of four subordinates to sell them to unsuspecting customers at $7 each.
In total, he sold 591 forged movie tickets from Feb 7 to 20 that year.
He gave $542 to his four accomplices and kept the remaining $3,595 for himself. He has since paid back the money to Eng Wah Organisation.
He was found out when a customer service officer reported him to the management.
He could have been jailed for up to two years and/or fined for forgery.
