how the hell does this boon leng fella become such a big bookie without getting jailed?
Boon Leng aka Jason Lee is son-in-law of Mary Chia who is running a very successful chain of slimming centres. He lives at Chancery Lane.
20 yrs ago, with three others, he ran many "horse racing machine" outlets. Made a pile from there. But gambled away all too, through real horses and soccer.
Yes, he is doing very well today. SAF Warriors recreation club was run by his cronies. Was told they had hidden rooms within the club housing illegal "jackpot machines". He is very close to the Warriors boss. Col Kok I think.
Boon Leng also very close to police officers. He used to play badminton at the old Traffic Police building along Maxwell. Many were investigated by CPIB and several convicted and went to jail. He remains "untouchable".
I too wonder how he manage K-Box. Rental and renovation will kill him but apparently he is ok even though we all know K-Box cannot be profitable with the prices they charge. He used to be a shareholder at the disco pub along Fullerton but was closed coz of a murder case there. Kabuki was his too but sold to some chaps from Jurong.
Last I heard, he was trying to change his profile. Close to a BBM chap (his advisor) and finding ways to be recognised via a PBM or BBM. Won't be surprised if he contributes to the CCC and/or RC.
Many accused him of money laundering but until there is evidence, a person is innocent till proven guilty.
