A Singaporean woman was jailed for five months for falsifying documents to fraudulently obtain $8,400 in government grants.
A Singaporean woman, Chew Chui Shien, was sentenced to five months in jail for fraud and forgery after helping her former employer falsify documents to secure $8,400 in government grants from a Workforce Singapore career conversion programme.
She submitted fake employment contracts and payslips claiming a woman was hired as a marketing and copywriting manager, though the role and pay did not meet programme requirements.
The scheme targeted mid-career workers transitioning into new jobs, but the employee received no salary increase after training.
The fraud was uncovered in 2020 after an audit, leading to charges in 2024.
Chew, who was granted $30,000 bail, will begin serving her sentence on March 9, 2026.
