Ithunk 1st Gear December 31, 2011 Author Share December 31, 2011 No sympathy for these jokers... if they were smart, they would've absconded long ago and disappeared overseas. What aroused my curiosity is the mitigation plea for this Lim fellow... supposedly a manager rank. His family circumstances appear to be quite difficult despite being a manager?? Like that all those people who are rank-and-file must be worse off! This guy is of managerial rank, but his background story reads like "blue collar"... wife 7 years older and with 2 children in tow (must've been quite a looker for him to accept?) and two more children of their own, and father still have to work as security guard... seems incompatible for a manager. So maybe that's the reason for the crime - salary should be raised!! lol i wouldnt consider them elite.....anyway its great that singapore law net published these cases on the internet....really show the strength of the law in singapore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear January 1, 2012 Share January 1, 2012 So many of my neighbours buy nice cars and wear nice Clothings n luxury goods. Makes me wonder, did they also siphon off some $$ from their co? It looks like its easy to con companies to disburse $$$. Even if small amount like $1000 per month also good enough to finance a new car!! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
