An administrative clerk at a temple in Singapore was secretly carrying out a scheme to steal funds to feed her gambling habit. Now, after stealing more than SGD207,000 (US$155,167) over the course of a year, she’s going to prison.
A judge threw the book at Chinese national Li Fanfang, 32. As a clerk and accountant for the Hong San Temple Association, she used her position – and an erasable pen – to defraud the temple for her gambling habit.
Li, who’s married to a man from Singapore, initially tried to run away from her problems by skipping off to Hong Kong. She later returned and made a full confession.
