3 years' jail for executive who cheated employer of S$236,800 of dietary pills to sell for personal gain
Tan’s case initially went to trial on March 6 this year, but he then chose to plead guilty to a single charge of cheating that day. Four similar charges were taken into consideration for his sentencing.According to court documents, Tan’s offences took place between May and July 2020. At the time, he was employed by Klarity Group as a business development executive.
The firm’s main customers are professionals in the aesthetics industry, including medical practitioners, hospitals, and clinics operating in those regions. Court documents stated that Tan deceived Ms Wong on at least 12 occasions, by lying to her that he had authorisation from the firm’s chief executive officer, Dr Kan Wai Ming, to take boxes of Crystal Tomato away from the office.
When Ms Wong asked Tan if he had been authorised by Dr Kan to take the boxes, Tan would lie that he had been. Each time this happened, Ms Wong would later ask Tan for the bills and invoices so that she could document their export out of Singapore. Tan would offer her assurances and then give excuses to delay providing them.
Dr Kan later filed a police report over the theft of the 2,631 boxes on Aug 26 that year. It was not mentioned when Tan was arrested.
