Ivy Tan Yee Ling, 35, was convicted of four charges of criminal breach of trust by a servant following a trial.Tan, who joined Exim & Mfr Enterprise in February 2016, was found guilty of misappropriating two cheques amounting to about $204,000 and $67,600, between April and May 2016. At the closing of the trial, Deputy Public Prosecutor Yohanes Ng said that it was undisputed that Tan had deposited the four cheques into her personal account and those belonging to two of her friends and her company, Wedding Day.DPP Ng said Tan’s version of events, which included a claim of receiving “secret instructions” from Exim’s owner, Ng Sin Kwee, was not credible and should not be believed.
DPP Ng said her account requires the court to believe that Ng trusted her enough, when she had just joined the company, to ask her to be an “accomplice to the crime of effectively stealing dividends from his wife” and to “entrust her with several hundreds of thousands of dollars with no written documentation”.
