A former regular officer of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) was charged in court on Monday (Nov 10) for allegedly cheating 16 victims out of $145,250 in total.

Song Yong Pang, Benjamin, a 37-year-old Singaporean man, was charged with 18 counts of cheating and dishonestly inducing a delivery of property.

At the time of the alleged offences, Song, a captain in the SAF, was said to have deceived 16 individuals into giving him monies totalling $145,250 on the pretext of investments or to pay for his mother's medical bills.

In a statement on Nov 9, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) said Song had used these monies to service his debts and expenses.

The alleged offences took place over almost three years between May 2021 and March 2024.

13 of the eighteen charges faced by Song are amalgamated charges under Section 124(4) of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Amalgamated charges are when multiple alleged incidents are taken together and charged as a single offence.

Song is currently out on bail of $100,000. His case will be heard again on Dec 8.

Those convicted for cheating can be sentenced to up to 10 years in jail, fined, or both.

Any person convicted of an amalgamated charge may face twice the amount of punishment liable for the offence.

Another stealer and scammer who thinks he is protected as a naval regular to steal from citizens.

If that SAF captain had stayed out of trouble, he could easily earn approximately $87,000 per annum, based on a monthly gross salary of $7,310. Why ruin his own future over $145,250?

Maybe there might be than just that who know what scammers he in touch with and he thinks scamming normal citizens he will be well protected by civil service and SAF as an Army captain.

They can run their own rules and he has debts and it’s easy to scam common citizens using his army captain front and be protected

Same goes with the Naval captain who scammed and steal from an innocent citizen. No wonder when people talk about being vigilant about scams heard there are public sector people get very edgy and defensive. Who knows

I know of an acquaintance I met in NS who was a civil servant. He was caught for shoplifting, and the SPF immediately notified his employer, who dismissed him. I believe there is zero tolerance, and the Civil Service will dismiss an offender even before the court verdict is known.

Aiyoh, why dismiss. Go straight to court and argue it out. We get ready popcorn and watch show

What did he steal? Toilet rolls or men’s boxers because he didn’t bring his wallet that day?
