Man gets jail for cheating parents and sister of S$150,000 to give to his married lover

SINGAPORE: A 24-year-old deliveryman began dating a married woman 19 years his senior after delivering a parcel to her door, and subsequently cheated his parents of their life savings for her.

At the time, Kwek was selling bags and exchanged contact details with Lai before chatting with him over WhatsApp. His mother gave him S$9,000, and Lai handed the sum to Kwek, who allegedly used it to fund her business. In May 2017, Kwek allegedly instigated Lai to cheat his younger sister. He lied to his sister, who is three years his junior, that she could earn an interest of 30 per cent on the principal amount she deposited into a bank account. Lai's sister then gave him S$1,000, which he handed over to Kwek.Deputy Public Prosecutor Phoebe Tan asked for at least 22 months' jail for Lai, saying that he had betrayed his family's trust even though he was not the main mastermind.

His parents have since forgiven him"fully and unconditionally" and he has strong support from his family, said the lawyer, who tried to ask for a report assessing Lai's suitability for probation.District Judge Victor Yeo noted that Lai was 24 when he committed the offences, having completed National Service and with a diploma in aerospace electronics.
