The man lived with another woman in his HDB flat and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle.
A district judge allowed the woman's claim for fraudulent misrepresentation and deceit, and ordered the man to pay $210,050 in damages.
Ms Lee, 42, successfully sued him to recover her money after she presented text messages showing that she was constantly concerned about helping him with money. She also submitted photographs showing that he drove a sports car and wore branded items and that his mother bought a Rolex watch. Ms Lee met Mr Ng in 2008. She said she believed that she was in a relationship with him from 2010 to 2020.
She dipped into her savings to help him, and sometimes ate only biscuits to save money. She also applied for a part-time job to earn extra money.
