After transferring $212,850 to Mr Derrick Ng Jing Yuan from 2014 to 2020, Ms Lee Mei Lan found out that he had been deceiving her for years.
In a judgment published on May 30, district judge Jasmin Kaur allowed Ms Lee’s claim for fraudulent misrepresentation and deceit, and ordered Mr Ng to pay her $210,050 in damages. Ms Lee met Mr Ng in 2008. She said she believed that she was in a relationship with him from 2010 to 2020. At the time, she was earning $3,000 a month, which meant she was giving him almost her entire salary.
In August 2019, Ms Lee’s mother, who did not know that she was giving money to Mr Ng, noticed her daughter’s savings were dwindling and locked away the money. Judge Kaur found that both of Mr Ng’s parents may have been ill, but he has not shown that he was taking care of them financially and that he needed money for their medical bills.
