Trusted with guarding safe, duty manager steals $19,000

The New Paper
Monday, Nov 26, 2012

FOR about four months, a duty manager at the National University of Singapore Society (NUSS) raided a safe of money belonging to her employer.

She was in charge of the safe and its cash at the Kent Ridge Guild House’s jackpot room. But from mid-April to Aug 27, she helped herself to $19,000.

Filipino Catherine Galang Perez, 39, was last Friday jailed seven months for criminal breach of trust as a servant.

The NUSS safe would have $35,000 in coins (35 bags of $1,000 in $1 coins) and $5,000 in notes at the start of each work day.

At the start of the jackpot room’s morning operations, the duty manager in charge would remove $4,000 in coins and $1,000 in notes from the safe and hand these to the cashiers for their transactions with customers.

The money taken out for the day’s operations would be replenished by the jackpot administration before the start of the next work day. Perez, an employee at the Guild House since Dec 1 last year, needed money to pay for housing, her daughter’s education, and a relative’s needs.

She started misappropriating in the money in mid-April, only taking notes from the safe as they were more convenient to remove than coins.

To disguise her crime, she covered the notes with a piece of paper when she removed them.

As some notes she took had been put in the safe in exchange for coins which were then handed over to the cashiers, the coin supply in the safe would be depleted.

She tried to disguise the fewer number of coins by redistributing coins from some of the bags – 12 bags containing $1,000 each to make up 24 bags of $500 each.

Perez was found out on Sept 2, when a senior duty manager opened a safe under her care and found coins missing, and no notes left.

She was questioned by her superiors and admitted to the offence the next day.
