Woman gets probation for entering casino with stolen work permit


By Elena Chong

A woman who stole her colleague's work permit to enter the Resorts World Sentosa casino was placed on 18 months' probation on Thursday.

Ellie Tan Ai Li, 25, who is expecting a child in December, had admitted to stealing the work permit from Malaysian sales assistant Liw Ker Lee, 23, at Pure Milk, Bugis Junction, on May 1, and entering the casino the next day without paying the entry levy of $100.

The Singaporean former retail operation manager removed the work permit from her colleague's wallet at the store room on May 1, and used it to enter the casino the next day.

When she lost all her money at the gambling table, she started asking patrons for money. A security manager took her to the office where it was discovered that she had been under a self-exclusion order since September last year.

District Judge John Ng ordered Tan, who had a gambling addiction, to do 30 hours of community service, attend counselling at the National Addictions Management Services.

She was further ordered not to step into the RWS and Marina Bay Sands casinos during her probation period. Her father signed a $1,000 bond to ensure her good behaviour.

i think each time a person enter a Casino or consuming alcoholic drinks, just like driving on the road, that person must know there is a possibility of an accident. The only thing is if the accident happens, do you know how to retrieve yourself without too much damages.
In other words, in everything, you must know what you are doing and look out for the danger signs that warn you, you are reaching your limit.
Just remember anything to the extreme will usually get you into some kind of troubles.
Like too much moolah will makes you "cranky"; Though some maybe still tolerable.
i wonder about WB. & B. Gate?
HA! HA!
Of course who don't want to be extremely wealthy and cranky?
Can't help to be cranky ma when you are that rich.

Actually hoh, cranky first then extremely rich.
Definitely not the other way round.
i am thinking of Steve Job now.
WB:-

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

NB:-
My signature is meant for psychoing myself. No offence to anyone. i am trying not to lose money unnecessary anymore.
