Chua Soon Huat used the money to fund his personal expenses, including his Grab car rental and multiple visits to a masseuse. - SHIN MIN DAILY NEWS SINGAPORE: Over the course of three months, a man pocketed more than S$78,000 in donations from a temple he was volunteering at.
Chua Soon Huat used the money to fund his personal expenses, including his Grab car rental, taking his family to fine dining establishments and multiple visits to a masseuse, whom he tipped $100 per visit.Chua was sentenced to 10 months and two weeks’ jail on Wednesday after pleading guilty to two counts of criminal breach of trust. Another similar charge was taken into consideration for sentencing. The court heard Chua was a volunteer treasurer at the Guan Loong Sheng Temple in Yishun at the time of the offences. As treasurer, he had a personal record book where he documented details of the donations collected and deposited into the temple’s bank account. Chua’s usual practice was to place the cash in red packets and label them before depositing them. He would then return the red packets with the corresponding bank receipts attached to the temple staff. Between February and April 2024, Chua misappropriated the donations by depositing the money into his own bank account on more than 60 occasions. His crimes came to light when another temple staff member, identified as Ang, noticed that Chua had failed to deposit the money into the temple’s bank account despite collecting the cash.When questioned by Ang and Ting, Chua admitted he had deposited the money into his own bank account. He claimed that he had fallen victim to a scam.Assistant Public Prosecutor Chye Jer Yuan sought a sentence of between 10 and 11 months’ jail for Chua, noting that he had committed the offences out of greed. No restitution was made to the temple, added the prosecutor. Chua asked for his sentence to be deferred for two weeks so he could attend a medical appointment and settle his personal affairs.Philippine massage therapist nabbed for filming clientBody of Singaporean man found cast in cement in Indonesian river; two men arrested
