做假账、抵触移民法令 控方促判杨寅监两年半至三年

中国籍前导游杨寅为了获得永久居留权欺骗五个政府机构，控方促请法官就他做假账、欺骗和抵触移民法令等347项罪状判他监禁两年半至三年。案件明天下判。

杨寅（42岁）今年5月认下这347项罪状。他为了替自己申请永久居留证和帮妻子长期探访准证，在2009年至2014年间欺骗人力部、移民与关卡局、会计与企业管制局（ACRA）和国内税务局。

主控官陈明龙副检察司今天陈词时说，杨寅在新加坡的五年期间不是在犯罪，就是准备犯罪，他没有一份正当职业对新加坡经济毫无贡献，根本不符合申请永久居留权的基本资格。

杨寅先和一名本地女子合伙开一家空壳公司，再谎报薪水申请准证和永久居民权。他还设立银行账户领取薪水并进账，更请了会计师过账目，以及提交损益表制造假象。

除了这347项控状外，杨寅也另认了两项失信老妇钟庆春（87岁）110万元的控状，失信罪预计这个星期五下判。针对这两项失信罪，控方早前促法官判他坐牢10至12年。

控方也要求法官把两组刑罚分开执行，换言之，若法官接受控方的建议，杨寅的总刑期可达12年半至15年。

Judge says ex-tour guide bamboozled elderly victim into entrusting him with the money

With his hands cuffed behind his back and his ankles shackled, Yang Yin was seen shaking yesterday as a judge described how the former tour guide had "bamboozled" an elderly widow into entrusting him with $1.1 million.

The 42-year-old Chinese national was sentenced to six years in jail - on top of the 26 months he received on Thursday for a slew of offences related to creating a sham business to gain permanent residency.

Yesterday's sentence came after he pleaded guilty in August to two criminal breach of trust charges for misappropriating $500,000 and $600,000 on two separate occasions from 89-year-old Madam Chung Khin Chun.

Her niece, Madam Hedy Mok, 62, frowned when the jail sentence was passed and later told The Straits Times it was "too light, too lenient".

Yang stood nervously in silence next to a court interpreter as Principal District Judge Bala Reddy took about 30 minutes to read out his grounds of judgment.

He said Yang had preyed on the vulnerability of Madam Chung, and embarked on his "criminal enterprise" shortly after he came to live in Singapore in 2009.

"Preying on the vulnerability of an elderly lady, very advanced in age, the accused bamboozled Madam Chung into entrusting him with substantial sums of monies for purposes that he never intended to fulfil," said Judge Reddy.

Yang had met Madam Chung in 2008 when he acted as her private tour guide during a trip to Beijing. The widow, whose husband died in 2007, is childless and was diagnosed with dementia in 2014.

Some time around January 2010, Yang persuaded her to purchase a horse painting by renowned Chinese artist Xu Beihong. She then agreed to entrust him with a sum of half a million.

The painting, however, was never bought. Yang procured a fake painting and a falsified receipt to cover up his wrongdoing.

Yang likewise procured two falsified receipts that showed he had purchased five paintings for close to $600,000 in 2012.

Judge Reddy said the sentence meted out must be one that reflects the total amount of money misappropriated, as well as one that takes into account various aggravating factors in the case.

The jail term of 10 to 12 years that the prosecution asked for would be "particularly crushing", said the judge, citing past cases in which the jail terms handed out were lower than that even though larger amounts were misappropriated.

Yang's lawyer, Mr Irving Choh, said his client was "relieved" at yesterday's outcome.

Madam Chung and her niece arrived in court with six friends and neighbours yesterday. Many, including Madam Mok, left feeling disappointed with the outcome.

"What he stole was not only money... he actually took away her dignity," the travel agency owner told reporters outside the court house. "He didn't do what he was supposed to do, (that is) look after her. He didn't do that... he didn't look into her welfare and it's totally disappointing."

Asked if the prosecution would be appealing, a spokesman for the Attorney-General's Chambers said the prosecution will study the full written grounds of decision before deciding on the next appropriate course of action.

Both the prosecution and Yang's lawyer have 14 days to file the notice of appeal.

Yang Yin case: Widow’s niece regrets not acting earlier


Former China tour guide Yang Yin was jailed 6 years on Friday for misappropriating $1.1 million from widow Mdm Chung Khin Chun. Mdm Chung's niece Hedy Mok said she was 'totally disappointed' with the 'too lenient' sentence.

It was in 2009 when Yang Yin first moved into Madam Chung Khin Chun's sprawling Gerald Crescent bungalow, going on to trick the 89-year-old widow into handing over more than a million dollars.

But it was only five years later that her niece, Madam Hedy Mok, found out what he was up to, evicted him from the home and went to the police - leading to Yang yesterday being sentenced to six years' jail for criminal misappropriation.

Still, it was bittersweet for Madam Mok. "I regret not acting against him earlier," she told The Straits Times. "I did not know (the full extent of) what he had done until it was too late."

Madam Mok became embroiled in the saga in early 2014, when she visited her aunt during Chinese New Year with her mother, Madam Doris Chung. Madam Doris Chung noticed that her sister's memory was failing and asked her daughter Hedy to take her sister to a doctor.

Madam Chung was subsequently diagnosed with dementia and Madam Mok applied to be her aunt's guardian in June. That was when she discovered that her aunt had already granted Yang, a former China tour guide, legal powers in 2012 to have full control over her assets estimated to be worth $40 million, including her bungalow. The legal powers were revoked in November 2014, after Madam Mok applied to the court to have the Lasting Power of Attorney cancelled.

When asked if she should have visited her aunt more often, Madam Mok said: "She is a private person." She knew that Yang was living in the bungalow but he had avoided meeting family members each time they visited, she said. After finding out that he had gained control of the widow's financial matters, she evicted him, his wife and two children from the bungalow.

Madam Mok, 62, who runs a tour agency, then took in her aunt to live with her in her semi-detached house in East Coast. Madam Chung has been living there since August 2014. The widow now spends her days reading newspapers in the morning and swimming in the afternoon. She also has a full-time maid to attend to her needs.

In court yesterday, Madam Chung, a retired physiotherapist, appeared oblivious to the proceedings. She closed her eyes during most of the trial. When asked by reporters how she felt about the outcome, she replied: "I don't know."

Madam Mok said she plans to sell the Gerald Crescent bungalow and use the proceeds for her aunt's upkeep. "The rest will go to charity according to her will," she added, although she has not decided when and how to sell the house.

When asked if she would miss the Gerald Crescent bungalow if it is sold, Madam Chung said: "Of course I will miss it. I lived there a long time. But Hedy's house is my home now."

Prosecution appeals against Yang Yin's term

The Attorney- General's Chambers called Yang's six-year term "manifestly inadequate".

The prosecution is appealing against what it called the "manifestly inadequate" six-year jail term for a former tour guide from China, Yang Yin, who misappropriated $1.1 million from an elderly Singaporean widow.

"The sentence does not adequately reflect the true criminality of Mr Yang's conduct," said the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) in a statement yesterday.

Last Friday, Principal District Judge Bala Reddy had sentenced Yang, 42, to six years' imprisonment for committing two criminal breach of trust offences. The Chinese national had misappropriated $500,000 and $600,000 from 89-year-old Madam Chung Khin Chun in 2010 and 2012 .

Elaborating on the decision to file a notice of appeal yesterday, the AGC said the court had not given adequate consideration to two features of the case.

First, Yang was a foreigner who had come to Singapore with the aim of committing criminal acts.

"Secondly, not only did he take advantage of a vulnerable elderly person, (but) he has also failed to disclose the full extent of his criminality, return any portion of the misappropriated monies, and he has not shown any remorse," added the AGC.

The prosecution had originally asked for a deterrent sentence of 10 to 12 years.

Judge Reddy, however, said in his grounds of decision last week that a deterrent sentence need not be "crushing", adding that 10 to 12 years' imprisonment would be "manifestly excessive".

Apart from the criminal breach of trust, Yang was also jailed for two years and two months for a slew of crimes regarding his immigration status, including falsifying receipts for a sham company in order to stay in Singapore.

Though the former tour guide faces a total of eight years and two months in jail, his 26-month sentence was backdated to Oct 31, 2014, when he was taken into remand. Together with a possible one-third remission of the sentence for good behaviour , it could mean a much shorter jail term for Yang.

Yesterday, Madam Chung's niece, Madam Hedy Mok, told The Straits Times she was glad to hear the prosecution had filed a notice of appeal.

"What he (Yang) got was incredibly lenient," said the 62-year-old tour agency owner.

Yang's lawyer Irving Choh said: "We cannot stop the prosecution from appealing but from the comprehensive reasons set out by the learned judge Bala Reddy, it appears that he had meted out a just, fair and proportionate sentence under the circumstances to Yang Yin."
