SINGAPORE - A deliveryman who was appointed the director of one of nine companies involved in a $39.9 million SkillsFuture scam was sentenced to four years and four months' jail on Wednesday for his role in the criminal syndicate.
Tan had earlier pleaded guilty to four charges relating to his involvement in the scheme, including for money laundering and for breaching a director's duty under the Companies Act.Tan was part of a criminal syndicate that had set up nine shell companies - three training providers and six business entities - which submitted more than 8,000 course fee subsidy claims to SkillsFuture Singapore between May and October 2017.
Some time in 2017, Sim approached Tan at a coffee shop in Bukit Batok, offering to help the latter repay his debt to unlicensed moneylenders on the condition that Tan provide his NRIC details to him. After Tan did so and allowed Sim to take a photo of his NRIC, he was given $300. Tan also provided Sim with his SingPass credentials and ATM card without finding out the reasons for his request, and was given $5,000 in cash.
On Aug 8 that year, Sim told Tan to withdraw two sums of money - $90,000 and $89,000 - from his bank account and to hand over the cash to him. Tan did so, and received $2,000 from Sim.
