He was owed S$33,238.80.The charge involving the Private Security Industry Act occurred on March 18 in 2016 when the club organised a match against Albirex Niigata Singapore Football Club at the Jalan Besar Stadium.
Mr Tan said the club had notified only the Singapore Premier League of the employment of the officers in the “mistaken belief” that this sufficed for legal purposes.
