A woman who stole her colleague's work permit to enter the Resorts World Sentosa casino was placed on 18 months' probation on Thursday.
Ellie Tan Ai Li, 25, who is expecting a child in December, had admitted to stealing the work permit from Malaysian sales assistant Liw Ker Lee, 23, at Pure Milk, Bugis Junction, on May 1, and entering the casino the next day without paying the entry levy of $100.
The Singaporean former retail operation manager removed the work permit from her colleague's wallet at the store room on May 1, and used it to enter the casino the next day.

A security manager took her to the office where it was discovered that she had been under a self-exclusion order since September last year.
