An ex-officer with the Strata Titles Board, STB, was charged in
court today for two counts of cheating and one for providing false
information.
The accused is 25-year old Hong Shihui, who worked as a
Management Support Officer with the STB.
Ms Hong conspired with her colleague Rajasvarai Radhakrishnan,
also known as Raji, to prepare two quotations for transcribing
works in the name of Ms Hong's cousin.
The quotations were sent on 6 and 25 September 2005 to the
Registrar of STB for approval.
The work was in fact done by Ms Raji and payments amounting to
more than 10 thousand dollars were split between the accused and Ms
Raji.
In November last year, Ms Raji was charged and subsequently
convicted and sentenced to three months imprisonment.
During the course of investigation on February 2007, Ms Hong
also gave false information to a CPIB investigator.
If convicted, she may be punished with a maximum of one year
imprisonment, or with fine or both for each of the cheating
offences.
For giving false information, she's liable to a fine not
exceeding 10 thousand dollars or a maximum of one year
imprisonment, or both.
