High flyer's life ruined by drugs and crime
Lianhe Wanbao - 2 hrs 44 mins ago
Huang Guang Tian, 33, is a high flyer who moves in the circles of the upper-level society. He became the director of four companies and the shareholder of a fifth company at the young age of 23.
However, all that changed when Huang was nabbed for drug abuse and drug possession six years ago. Together with more than twenty of his peers, he was sentenced to 27 months in jail.
Not long after his release from prison, Huang is in trouble with the law again.
Since 1 April this year, he has been charged in court multiple times for drug abuse, drug possession, and ten counts of theft.
According to the charges, Huang had stolen more than $20,000 worth of items between 3 January and 29 July this year at a number of locations including the Singapore Institute of Management and another school located at Dover Road.
The stolen items include nine laptop computers, a mobile phone, a camera, a passport and cash.
During Huang's conviction six years ago, he claimed to suffer from depression and schizophrenia. According to his lawyer, Huang was diagnosed with the mental illnesses when he was 18 years old.
His lawyer added that as Huang is from a privileged background, his brushes with the law has given him more pressures and made his illnesses worse.
