A MALAYSIAN who allegedly accessed the computer network of
integrated resort Marina Bay Sands six times in May was charged in
court on Thursday.
Leslie Liew Cheong Wee, 35, is accused of computer misuse from a
flat in Teck Whye Lane between May 9 and 12.
He is said to have knowingly caused a server to perform a
function for securing a remote access without the authority of the
Marina Bay Sands workstation computer between May 9 and 12.
It was reported earlier that MBS made a police report around the
time on power disruption on its property. One of the blackouts
occurred 20 minutes after midnight on May 12 which affected a small
area of the gaming floor for about an hour. Backup power was
activated.
Liew, a permanent resident here, was offered bail of $15,000.
His passport has been impounded.
The case will be mentioned on Sept 30. If convicted, he faces a
fine of up to $50,000 or a jail term of up to seven years or to
both.
