SINGAPORE – A woman who misappropriated more than $1.8 million from her employer was handed a jail term of three years and three months on March 23.
Judy Teh Mui Eng, 61, who was previously a director of several pubs, according to the business registry, siphoned the money over seven years to fund her own businesses and family expenses.
She pleaded guilty to 26 charges involving forgery and dealing with the benefits of her criminal conduct on Jan 12.
More than 130 similar charges were taken into consideration during her sentencing.
While Teh has made full restitution, Deputy Public Prosecutor Yee Jia Rong stated that “the offences continued until they were discovered”.
“She did not own up on her own accord and to face the music. It was only after her offences were discovered that she stopped her offending, as the game was up,” DPP Yee said.
