Yim took an American man's credit card after he failed to hand over $800 for sexual services in 2010. He then cheated a Mustafa Centre cashier by using the card to buy $2,572 worth of items. -- ST PHOTO: WONG KWAI CHOW
When an American failed to hand over $800 for sexual services, a transvestite took the man's credit card and went shopping.
Puteri Nur Amelia Yim, 30, pleaded guilty yesterday to cheating a cashier at Mustafa Centre by buying $2,572 worth of items with someone else's credit card.
The Singaporean was jailed for two weeks. He will start serving the sentence next Monday, so he can have time to settle personal matters. A district court heard that the 28-year-old American had approached Yim in Orchard Towers for sex at 2am on Nov 21, 2010.
Both went to a hotel in the Balestier area. Investigations indicated that Yim arrived at the store in Syed Alwi Road at about 5am.
