A man who stole $69,000 from his employer and gambled away the money at a casino was jailed for one year on Friday.
Daniel Ang Kok Peng, 38, who pleaded guilty, was a senior sales executive at Dickson Watch and Jewellery at Orchard Road when he committed the offence on July 31.
After he had surrendered himself to the police the next day, the assistant store manager made a check and found $69,000 missing from the safe.
The court heard that Ang was having financial difficulties. He stole the money and went to the casino at Resorts World Sentosa where he lost everything.
