Teo, 60, made the bogus claims for purported reimbursements for goods and services because he was facing financial difficulties at the time.He was sentenced to seven months’ jail on Monday after pleading guilty to five counts of cheating. He asked the group to engage one Madam Xiang Jing Jing to perform the job at $280 per month, without telling them that she was his wife.
As a result, the RN engaged Madam Xiang’s services. The unsuspecting Mr Sivanesan authorised payments totalling nearly $4,200 to her between December 2019 and November 2020. “Had the accused disclosed... his ownership of TKW to members of the RN... TKW would not have been engaged to render services to the RN.”
