SINGAPORE

56-YEAR-OLD MAN CHARGED WITH STEALING CASINO CHIPS

It's really horrifying to see these types of people trying to break the laws in Singapore.Ooi Boon Huat who is unemployed, allegedly committed the offence at a casino table on Wednesday at about 12.10pm. He took 10 pieces of cash chips, which carried a face value of 500, which belonged to Resorts World Casino. I think that he has no money as he is unemployed. But stealing is an offence. Yet, it is casino chips which is worth a lot of value in cash. He could be jailed up to three years and fined.

  1. It is really horrifying to see people like this trying to break the law in Singapore. Ooi Boon Huat who is unemployed, allegedly committed the offence at a casino table on Wednesday at about 12.10pm. He took 10 pieces of cash chips (which carried a face value of $5000), belonging to Resorts World Casino. I think he is desperate for money as he is unemployed. But stealing is an offence! He could be jailed up to three years and fined if convicted.

    General Comments:
    Any opinions about casinos in Singapore "breeding crime", or the fact that these places could attract the worse people. Also, if he is unemployed and has no money, how did he get into the casino in the first place?
