SINGAPORE: A former People’s Association (PA) staff member was accused on Tuesday (Nov 25) of deceiving the statutory board into disbursing nearly S$15,000 (US$11,500) in event claims in 2023.
Soh Gim Loon, 40, was charged with four counts of cheating at the State Courts.
The Singaporean is said to have claimed expenses for two events that did not occur and allegedly submitted amounts that were higher than what was actually incurred for two other events.
Responding to CNA’s queries, PA said that it dismissed Soh from service after an internal disciplinary investigation, and Soh admitted his misconduct. PA added it was unable to comment further as the matter was before the courts.
