MP Lee Bee Wah charged $1.7K for phone bill

MP LEE Bee Wah went for a four-day holiday in Thailand and returned to find out that she was charged a staggering $1,700 worth of data usage on her mobile phone.

This happened to her a few years ago before she entered into politics.

The MP of Ang Mo Kio GRC, who is currently in Japan, told Shin Min Daily News that she would usually receive office related emails on her mobile phone.

While she was holidaying at Phuket, she had forgotten to switch off the data function in her phone and within four days, accumulated $1,700 worth of data usage.

Ms Lee told the Chinese evening daily that it was a very valuable lesson for her.

She explained that at that point in time, she did not realise that the email function in her phone was still activated and only found out when she received the bill.

Although she brought up the issue to Singtel and was given a discount, she still ended up paying $1,400.

Ever since that incident, she has been urging users who are not familiar with their mobile phones to either seek advice of the functionalities from people who are familiar with the it, or to switch off the data function entirely when travelling overseas.

Ms Lee is currently very satisfied with her Blackberry Bold and reckons that it is a cost-saving device.

She said that ever since she started using this phone, her monthly bill has not exceeded $100.

typical Singaporean grad behaviour - ungrateful afterpeople help you

by relating the story, those travelling will be reminded about the data charges that can be incurred if handphone left on auto

but instead of being grateful, you guys slam her

How come she can get $300 discount? Last time, just 1 sms got stuck between 2 overseas server, I got charged for 5 to 6 pages of repeated sms. I asked Singtel to waive as it is a single sms & it was stuck due to servers issues, they refused. KNN!!!! F%@K Singtel for having double standard!!!! :mad: Moreover her case is due to her own negligence while mine is due to servers problem.

$1,700? $1,400? to her is nothing.

Just like the ex chairman of Laguna Park Residents Committee who was fined $1200 for wilful vandalism. This arrogant and unrepentant ass boasted that the fine was nothing as he could well afford to thorw $4000 in one night of Karaoke session in a sleazy joint. Hope the prosecutors appealed against the meagre fine.
