SINGAPORE — The Singapore Premier League kicked off on Saturday (Feb 23) with the AIA Community Shield at the Jalan Besar Stadium, but already one of its clubs has found itself in the headlines for the wrong reasons.
Hougang United Football Club, one of nine clubs in the professional football league, had filed a police report against an employee after losing S$278,200 from its coffers.
A female administrative staff member, Tean Tai Tee, had allegedly misappropriated the sales revenue from the clubhouse between Nov 29 and Dec 11 last year. Tean, 25, was subsequently arrested by police and charged in court on Dec 16 with criminal breach of trust.
When contacted, Hougang United general manager Matthew Tay confirmed that the club had lodged a police report, but declined further comment.
