A FORMER hotel assistant housekeeping executive who forged payment vouchers for her married boyfriend for work purportedly done, was jailed for six weeks on Wednesday.
Malaysian Jennifer Chong Cheng Yoong, 41, had admitted to 10 of 116 counts of forgery involving $1,092 in February 2010. The accomplice, Muhammad Saufi Idross, 37, has since been charged. His case is at pre-trial stage.
The court heard that between August 2009 and February 2010, Chong helped Saufi get salary payments for work he did not do at the hotel by forging 116 casual labour payment vouchers so that he could use them to claim salary payments.
Saufi used the vouchers and submitted them to claim salary payments amounting to $14,851. Chong, whose lawyer said she committed the offences out of love for the father of two, had paid back the sum to the hotel.
Her lawyer Lim Kia Tong said she did not gain anything from the help she had given to Saufi who gained from all the money taken and was also paid for the employer's Central Provident Fund contributions to his account.
She could have been jailed for up to four years and/or fined on each charge.

Actually, he didn't get anything, because it was the girl who got charged, not the guy.
The girl is simple minded.
The guy made use of the girl to get money.
Should jail the guy and not just fine $500.
