The woman, who was unrepresented, was allegedly caught on CCTV footage stealing the cash at 5.16am on April 6. Standing in the dock yesterday, she appeared calm when the charge was read out to her. She told District Judge Shaiffudin Saruwan that she wanted to make restitution.
The judge told her that any restitution made would be taken into account during sentencing.

A FORMER cashier of Resorts World Sentosa was jailed for two months on Monday for theft of $10,000 at the casino. Lim Ee Wah, 39, who pleaded guilty to the April 6 offence, has made full restitution. The court heard that her colleague, Ms Cheng Chooi Hsia, 30, was on duty at a cage when she took two bundles of $50 notes, totalling $10,000, to be counted in a flipping machine behind her but the machine was busy. She then turned around to attend to other customers and forgot about the notes.

Shortly, Lim also went to the machine to have some cash counted when she saw the unattended notes and took them together with the cash that had been counted. During her two break periods, she managed to sneak out the $10,000 and hid them in her locker. She was arrested nine days later and spent the money in gaming activities. The mother of two could have been jailed for up to seven years and fined for theft as a servant.
