SINGAPORE: In what is likely to be a landmark case for
the charity sector, 26—year—old Rajendren Rajamani — the man behind
three charities that were set up to help children — will be
sentenced on Thursday.
Children of Singapore Foundation, Children’s Leukaemia
Foundation and Club Sunshine were shut down in 2007 after the
Commissioner of Charities found serious irregularities and
suspicious transactions in their accounts.
Investigations had shown that much of the funds that were raised
made its way to Rajendren’s pocket.
Of the S$69,000 in the Children of Singapore Foundation account,
S$47,300 went to Rajendren for his personal expenses, S$20,700 went
to his girlfriend, Cindy Ong, and S$1,000 to his friend, Dominic
Joseph.
To cover his tracks, he admitted that he falsified payment
vouchers, invoices, financial aid payouts and the accounts of the
charities.
He also misappropriated over S$42,000 in donation proceeds which
he was supposed to hand over to New Hope Community Services, giving
them some S$9,000 instead. No restitution has been made.
Rajendren, who has been in remand since his arrest last
December, has pleaded guilty to 26 out of 90 charges, ranging from
criminal breach of trust to forgery.
In mitigation, his lawyers said he started off with noble
intentions, but faltered along the way, committing a series of
crimes. He had since cooperated fully with the police.
This case is the first major case where the accused has pleaded
guilty after stringent charity rules kicked in back in 2007.
Lawyers said this would likely set a precedent for other
charity—related cases, such as the recently completed trial of
former Ren Ci CEO Ming Yi
