SINGAPORE: A 54-year-old man has been charged with cheating a woman of S$600 by telling her that he was a doctor from the cardiology department at the Singapore General Hospital.
Leong Yew Thong is believed to have told Bernadine Tok Hong Kee on November 19 last year that the money was needed to pay another hospital.
He allegedly promised to return the money the next day.
The pre-trial conference for this case will be held on November 11.
If convicted, Leong could be jailed up to 10 years and fined.
