Chua Sah May, 48, was jailed seven months on Monday after she pleaded guilty to deceiving Temasek Foundation by using several of its vending machines to dispense 397 mask kits to her, worth a total of $3,176.
Chua worked as a recruiter who was outsourced to Clariant Singapore and Archroma Singapore to handle the two firms’ payrolls or work pass matters. She would have access to foreign employees’ FINs, which she would store in her hard drive. She selected the FINs of employees whom she believed had left Singapore or could not enter Singapore due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. She thought they were less likely to redeem their mask kits. She then copied the selected FINs onto a piece of paper, intending to key in the serial numbers to redeem the masks.
A Chinese national who worked as a sales manager for Clariant South East lodged a police report on 3 October 2020 after he was unable to redeem his mask kit from a vending machine in Telok Blangah Community Club. The vending machine system stated that he had redeemed the face masks on 27 September 2020.After her arrest, Chua surrendered to the police a total of 454 Temasek mask kits, which were in her home. Due to hygiene reasons, Temasek Foundation was unable to take the masks.
