Ex-UBS officer fined $10,000

Ex-UBS officer fined $10,000

<!-- by line --> <!-- end by line --> WHILE working as an IT specialist with the UBS bank here, Mark Andrew Robertson was sourcing funds from friends for a private investment scheme.
Things did not go according to plan and on Tuesday, the Briton and Singapore permanent resident was fined $8,000 for making a false document under the Computer Misuse Act. He was also slapped with a $2,000 fine for committing criminal breach of trust (CBT) of $2,980.

A district court heard that in 2008, Robertson, 41, was the associate director of IT infrastructure at UBS. Privately, he was raising investments for Perdomo Cigars Asia, which operates a gentlemen's club in Bangkok. The company promised a 15 per cent return on money loaned to it for a period of six months. Robertson pitched the investment scheme to two of his Indonesian wife's friends.

Ms Suganthy Kannairam put in $200,000 while Ms Ratna Gilliland came up with $80,000. He also told Ms Gilliland that the investment was backed by UBS and promised her a certificate of deposit. Sometime in July 2008, Robertson copied the bank's letterhead and prepared a forged certificate, which he handed to her. It had been Robertson's plan to pay the investors a 12 per cent return while collecting 15 per cent from Perdomo.

As he had not disclosed this to the two women, it was misappropriation in the eyes of the law. Robertson admitted to skimming $2,980 from the returns to be paid to Ms Kannairam. Two other charges of misappropriating a total of $3,500 was taken into consideration by District Judge Sarjit Singh for the purposes of sentencing.

<!-- end by line --> <!-- end left side bar --> <!-- story content : start --> AN IRANIAN stole chips amounting to $200 from a roulette table at the Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) just before noon on July 27. Four hours later, he was up to the same tricks at the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) casino. This time he was nabbed and on Thursday, Aminijam Amin, 30, was jailed for a week.

A district court heard that the Iranian was at RWS when he noticed a player placing a $100 chip on the number 36 on the roulette table. When the player went to another table to check on his wager there, Amin moved the chip to another bet on 'Red' instead. It won and Amin pocketed the $200 in chips and left the casino soon after.

But the 33-year-old Chinese national pushed his luck by trying to enter the Marina Bay Sands casino on Saturday with someone else's work permit. He was found out and sentenced on Tuesday to five months in jail and four strokes of the cane.

A district court heard that the former construction worker showed a work permit belonging to Mr Liu Changyong to security officer Saminathan Thangavalu as he was about to enter the casino at about 11am. The sharp-eyed officer noticed that Liu did not look like the man featured in the photograph on the work permit.

When questioned, Liu admitted that the work permit was not his. The court was not told how it ended up in his possession. Investigations then revealed that Liu had overstayed here since January 2007. He had arrived to work here in 2005 and had been issued a work permit on Oct 6 on that year. However, when the permit was cancelled two years later, Liu went into hiding.

Illegal investment schemes: Malaysians charged in Singapore, Brunei

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 — Two Malaysians and a Singaporean were charged in the Singapore and Brunei courts for operating fraudulent trading and illegal deposit-taking, said Bank Negara Malaysia.
On July 30, a District Court in Singapore sentenced Singaporean Phang Wah and Malaysian Jackie Hoo Choon Cheat, both of Sunshine Empire, to nine years and seven years’ jail, respectively, for running a fraudulent investment scheme.
They were convicted for fraudulent trading under Section 340 of the Singapore Companies Act and Criminal Breach of Trust under Section 409 of the Singapore Penal Code, the central bank said in a statement today.
On June 3, Sunshine Empire was fined RM2 million after it pleaded guilty at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court to two charges under Section 25(1) of the Banking and Financial Institutions Act 1989 for accepting deposits from the public without a valid licence.
In another case, a Malaysian, Hasri Mohd Noor, who is a director of Business Time Dina Sdn Bhd, a company related to Pan Phoenix Dina Sdn Bhd, was sentenced to six years’ jail by the Brunei High Court on Aug 7 for illegal deposit-taking under Section 93 (1) of the Banking Order 2006.
Hasri is currently being prosecuted in Malaysia for possible offences under Section 25(1) of the Banking and Financial Institutions Act 1989 and under Section 4(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001.
Bank Negara reminded the people not to place any money or deposits with unlicensed institutions or be involved in any form of get-rich-quick schemes to avoid losing their hard-earned money.
It said the list of licensed institutions administered by the central bank to accept deposits was available on its website at www.bnm.gov.my.
It said the people could also access information on illegal financial schemes and enforcement actions taken by the central bank by logging on to the Financial Fraud Alert Site, http://fraudalert.bnm.gov.my.
For further enquiries and information, the public can contact Bank Negara Malaysia at 1-300-88-5465. — Bernama

Convicted for sexual grooming

<!-- by line --> By Khushwant Singh

A STOREKEEPER, 25, who repeatedly plied a 13-year-old student with requests for sex, has become the first person to be convicted for sexual grooming. The law, which took effect in February 2008 makes it an offence for any person above the age of 21 if he 'intentionally meets or travels to meet a minor with the intention of committing a sexual offence with the minor'.

An offender can be jailed for up to three years and/or fined up to $10,000. Loh Kuat Fung pleaded guilty on Friday to sexual grooming and to allowing another 15-year-old girl to consume alcohol in a hotel room he had rented in August or September 2008. For the second offence, the Malaysian could be fined up to $2,000 or jailed up to a year. He will be sentenced next Friday.

Highlighting that this was the first case to be heard in a court here for sexual grooming, Deputy Public Prosecutor S. Sellakumaran called Loh a 'sexual predator who was relentless in his pursuit of his victims'. Asking for a lenient sentence, Loh's lawyer said that his client was a foreigner here and was lonely.

<!-- end left side bar --> <!-- story content : start --> A TANZANIAN who cheated Marina Bay Sands casino of about $126,000 - the highest amount to date - by past-posting was jailed a total of 24 months on Monday. This is the longest jail term handed to a casino cheat since the opening of the two integrated resorts in Singapore earlier this year.

Kipuyo Lemburis Israel, 35, pleaded guilty last week to three charges of cheating and one of attempted cheating at the casino's roulette tables on May 20. He had deceived the casino into paying him chips worth a total of $105,175 between 1.43 and 4.02am by placing bets after the winning number had been declared.

His luck ran out when he was caught using the same ruse that afternoon. Seven other charges, including two cheating, were taken into consideration. The court heard that Kipuyo first entered Singapore on May 16 and left for Genting Highlands, Malaysia. Two days later, he re-entered Singapore and gambled at MBS casino.

After having sold his electronic business in Tanzania because he had been involved in heavy gambling, he had spent his leisure time gambling in the casino there. He could have been jailed for up to 10 years and fined on each charge of cheating. For attempted cheating, the penalty is five years' jail and a fine.

WITHIN 18 days here, a Vietnamese visitor filched 20 cell phones, and an assortment of MP3 players and cameras from unsuspecting victims. Nguyen Thi Lan, 47, nearly got away with it. She was only arrested on July 24 when she was about to board a flight home. She was jailed 10 months on Tuesday after she admitted to 21 theft offences and one count of fraudulent possession of stolen goods.

A district court heard that she stole the 20 cell phones and other gadgets as well as cash amounting to $1,360 and US$240 that were found on her at the airport. Police were able to trace the owners of eight cell phones, and from the footage of closed-circuit television in shops where Nguyen had committed the offence.

The owners of the other items could not be verified and Nguyen herself could not remember where she had stolen them.

Caught smuggling immigrants

<!-- end left side bar --> <!-- story content : start --> A Malaysian man was caught by officers from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) at the Tuas Checkpoint trying to smuggle two immigration offenders into Malaysia. On Wednesday at about 7.30pm, as the Malaysia-registered car pulled into the checkpoint for departure clearance, officers noticed that the driver was fidgety, prompting them to check his car boot for inspection.

The driver insisted that the mechanism in the boot was out of order and could not be opened, so officers lowered the rear back seats. Two Indian men were found hiding in the boot. Both illegal immigrants, the Indian men, aged 31 and 34 years, had paid unknown agents $1,000 and $1,200 to make illicit arrangements to leave Singapore.

The 21-year-old driver confessed to abetting the illegal departure of the two Indian immigration offenders but claimed it was due to his financial difficulties and that he was offered RM800 (S$344.60) to do the job.
Investigation is ongoing.

At about 3am yesterday, the 31-year-old had gone into the management offices of Melody Valley pub at Balmoral Plaza to discuss business matters with two of the pub's female bosses, Chinese daily Shin Min reported. Two of the man's companions later arrived at the second-storey pub.

At around that time, one of the women emerged from the office, claiming the man had hit her. It is understood that when the 14 Chinese nationals, all in their 20s, heard her claim, they lunged onto the man. There were about 10 other customers in the pub at the time and they all fled the scene.

Man to face triple murder trial

<!-- by line --> By Selina Lum
<!-- end by line -->
CHINESE national Wang Zhejian, 44, was yesterday committed to stand trial for three murders and one attempted murder in Yishun three years ago. It was the first time that Wang was charged with the murder of 36-year-old Yang Jie. He had earlier been accused of murdering 41-year-old Zhang Meng and her daughter Feng Jianyu, 17, as well as trying to murder Ms Yang's 15-year-old daughter, who is not being named as she is a minor.

The two women and two teenagers, who were all from China, lived together in a rented flat in Yishun Avenue 11, where the crimes were said to have taken place between the night of Sept 18 and the early hours of Sept 19 in 2008. According to past reports, the bodies of Ms Zhang and her daughter were discovered that day by police in a bedroom. The other teenager, who was 13 at the time, was found with serious injuries in the kitchen toilet.

Ms Yang was found dead at the foot of the block. Yesterday, at the preliminary inquiry into the case, witness statements, medical and forensic reports as well as more than 400 exhibits were admitted for use in the trial. The 15-year-old girl was among the witnesses who were in court to sign an undertaking to testify at the trial. She looked relaxed and had a slight smile but did not make eye contact with the man alleged to have murdered her mother and flatmates. The accused remained calm during the proceedings.
