Ex-SAF captain jailed after cheating colleagues, enlisting subordinates to procure vapes


SINGAPORE – A former Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) captain was jailed for 21 months and two weeks on July 29, after admitting to cheating nearly $87,000 from five colleagues and vaping.

Benjamin Song Yong Pang, 38, was also fined $6,000. He pleaded guilty to five cheating charges and four vape-related charges, including possession of vaping devices.

He has since made full restitution to his victims, many of whom were his subordinates.

Court documents show that between 2011 and 2018, the former SAF captain incurred significant amounts of credit card debt from his patronage of Thai clubs and KTVs. The exact amount of his debt was not stated.

At the time, the serviceman was a deputy cluster commander at a supply base.
