By Elena ChongA man who excluded himself from the casino just could not resist the temptation when he made use of his wife's identity card 10 times to enter Marina Bay Sands casino.
Wong Yong Kheong, 39, a construction manager, was fined $5,000 on each of two charges on Wednesday of using the identity card of his wife, Madam Wong Ban Siew, 39, to get into MBS casino on Feb 8 and 12.
Eight other similar charges were taken into consideration. A Community Court heard that Wong applied for a self-exclusion order in October last year.
But less than three months later, on Dec 31, he began using his wife's IC to get into the Bayfront Avenue casino without lawful authority.
