Ex-SMRT Employee ‘On The Run’ After Allegedly Pilfering $20,000

A former SMRT station manager allegedly pilfered $20,000 in cash from Tanah Merah station, and is being investigated by the police.

The man is said to be on the run, and no longer in the country.

A police spokesman confirmed that the rail operator had lodged a report last Wednesday. He added that investigations are under way.

The Straits Times understands that the missing money – largely from commuters wanting to top up their travel cards at the station office – had been siphoned over a period of several months.

The case came to light apparently through an internal audit. Sources said the alleged culprit had worked at SMRT for only two years.

When contacted, SMRT spokesman Patrick Nathan said the company has referred the case to the police and that he could not comment further.

Each day, more than three million trips are made by close to one million people on Singapore’s rail network. Observers estimate that if 3 per cent of the one million commuters topped up their travel cards by just $10 through the station office instead of the automated machines, the network would collect $300,000 in cash each day. And if the cash were to be evenly distributed, each station would be handling at least $3,000 a day, or $21,000 a week.

But according to insiders, busier stations could be handling much more than that.

Tanah Merah station, being an interchange where commuters go to and from Changi Airport, as well as Pasir Ris, Simei and Tampines, is one such busy station.

The Straits Times understands that by the time the missing money was discovered and the police report filed, the alleged perpetrator had already been away from Singapore for two months.

A source familiar with the work of a station manager said the handling of money is “based on trust”.

Newborn Baby Boy’s Body Found In Tampines MRT Station Toilet

She was going about her daily cleaning duties at a toilet at Tampines MRT Station on Friday afternoon (June 3), when she stumbled upon a shocking find in a sanitary bin: The body of a newborn in a red plastic bag.

“When I found it, of course I was shocked, and I thought ‘why is there a baby here?’. But I was quiet, I didn’t scream,” Mdm Jumiati Amat, 75, told reporters in Malay.

The baby, later revealed to be male, was pronounced dead on the scene by paramedics when they arrived. The case is now being investigated by the police.

When TODAY arrived at the scene at about 2.30pm, several police vehicles were on site. Curious onlookers had gathered outside the toilet, which was cordoned off and manned by more than 10 police officers. Several of the officers — along with forensics professionals — were seen walking in and out of the toilet. The cordon was maintained for at least two hours as investigations were carried out. A body bag was brought out of the toilet at around 4pm.

Mdm Jumiati said that after discovering the body at 1.30pm, she removed it from the bin and placed it in her trolley. She then left the toilet to alert two SMRT staff, who called the police.

“I start work at 7am and check if the toilets are dirty. In the morning, there was nothing … I’ve never found something like this in all my years of working,” she said.

It is an offence to secretly dispose of a child’s dead body and hide the birth of the child. A person convicted of this offence may be jailed up to two years or fined, or punished with both. Last year, an Indonesian woman working here as a maid was arrested after she gave birth to a stillborn child, and hid the foetus in a drawer at her employer’s house.

There have also been cases of child abandonment. Last year, two teenagers left their newborn son in an SG50 bag outside the father’s parents’ flat. The 14-year-old mother had given birth in a toilet. She was sentenced to probation by a youth court, while her 18-year-old boyfriend was sentenced to two years’ probation and 100 hours of community service.

It was reported that there were 21 babies found abandoned by their parents between 2006 and 2015. Those found guilty of abandoning a child can be jailed for up to seven years or fined, or punished with both.

Singaporean Family Uses Find My IPhone App To Find Snatch Thief

A Singaporean family visiting Kuala Lumpur has technology to thank for tracking down a group of snatch thieves.

On Saturday, Mr Liu Wai Yaw, 51, and his family were travelling along Jalan Bukit Bintang when a man on a motorcycle smashed the passenger-side window at a traffic light, grabbed his wife’s Birkin bag and fled the scene, The Star reported.

Her iPhone 6 was in the bag, which also had about RM45,000 (S$15,100) worth of belongings.

Mr Liu tried to give chase, but failed to catch the thieves.

His 19-year-old son then came up with a great idea.

He suggested using “Find my iPhone” which is part of Apple’s iCloud service.

It uses cellular network and GPS signals to locate a missing or stolen iPhone, the Malay Mail reported.

Using the app, Mr Liu tracked the culprits to a place near Bandar Tun Razak Smart LRT station in Cheras.

Mr Liu told The Star: “We also called the police for help when we were on the way there.

“Once we reached the place, I went looking for the men with my son.”

He said he told his wife and 14-year-old daughter to wait in the car.

He saw a group of men discussing something and immediately recognised a few of them.

As expected, the group scattered when Mr Liu attempted to approach them but his son managed to grab one of them, who was still holding on to the bag.

The rest fled on two motorcycles and on foot.

QUICK

“The police were also quick to respond. They arrived on time,” said Mr Liu, adding that the man was handed over to the police.

He added that they got back all the money and he believed the men were dividing the loot when he arrived.

He also said that the man who was arrested later showed them where they had thrown the passports and credit cards from the purse.

Mr Liu’s wife suffered cuts on her legs and hands, while his son was bitten by the man who was arrested.
