The court heard that 53-year-old Tan Lee Nah began handing in false claims for expenses in May 2017, just two months after she started working for a company called D’Perception Singapore. She claimed to have used the money for the medical bills of her parents, as well as for the school fees of her child. Tan has been unable to pay the company back as she does not have the money to do so.The judge in Tan’s case said that she treated the funds of D’Perception Singapore as her “personal piggy bank,” according to a report in TODAY Online.
