A woman was jailed 18 months on Friday for her role in a payroll scam in which she channelled the salaries of employees who had resigned into her own bank account.
Cheong Ooi Chan, 30, was working for Banshing Industrial when she committed the cheating offences between January and September 2010.
Working as a human resource assistant, the Singapore permanent resident from Malaysia had been given the password to the payroll system.
When she found out that the company had erroneously continued to pay employees who had quit without submitting resignation letters, she logged into the system and changed their bank account numbers to her own.
Read the full story in Friday's edition of The Straits Times.
