SINGAPORE \u2013 An insurance agent allegedly put a woman under a corporate hospital plan without her knowledge, even though she did not work for that company.<\/p>\n
The man then allegedly pocketed the premium payments made by the victim. As a result, the insurance company did not honour a claim submitted by the victim for her medical bills.<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old man is expected to be charged in court on April 8 with the offence of criminal breach of trust as an agent, the police said in a statement on April 7.<\/p>\n
The incident came to light when officers from Bedok Police Division received a police report on Sept 17, 2025, from a victim who was unable to make a claim on her personal insurance policy for outstanding medical bills amounting to $56,444.51.<\/p>\n
This was despite making premium payments to an insurance agent.<\/p>\n
Through investigations, officers established that the man had allegedly failed to secure a personal insurance policy for the victim.<\/p>\n
Instead, he allegedly resorted to actions that eventually led to the victim\u2019s claim being rejected.<\/p>\n
If found guilty, he may be jailed for up to 20 years and fined. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
