Woman gets jail for trying to bribe Singapore’s Changi Airport staff with S$70 to let her board flight without valid visaAt the State Courts, Fun was sentenced to 18 months' and two weeks' jail after she pleaded guilty to five counts of unauthorised pawning of goods under the Pawnbrokers Act.
Ten other similar charges, including three for abetting her husband to pawn the goods, were taken into consideration during sentencing.The court heard that Fun was the manager and shareholder at Yong Teck Pawnshop in Hougang when she decided to commit the offences from March 3 to Nov 26, 2021. For the five charges which the prosecution proceeded with, Fun received a total of S$421,790 in sales proceeds from these third-party pawnshops, namely Heng Heng, ValueMax , Shing Heng, Moneymax and Wing Teck.
The Registry of Pawnbrokers were subsequently informed by RSM on Dec 16, 2021, of missing pledges which were suspected to have been taken to be pawned at other pawnshops. As she was facing a cash flow problem at the pawn shop, she took the valuables and pawned them without authorisation, which prevented the original owners from coming back to redeem them, said Mr Yim.
