Singapore woman jailed for forging 17 MCs to extend gym membership over three years
Saturday, 13 Jun 2020 07:11 AM MYT
Aida Tay Ai Ling’s membership at the all-women gym and spa company was due for renewal in 2016, the court heard. Finding the membership fees expensive, Tay engaged a printing shop to produce 10 fake MC booklets from Town Clinic, a clinic she used to visit and is located in Bugis. The general practitioner whose name was on Tay’s stamps then called the manager to say that she had not issued the MCs to Tay, who had last visited the clinic in November 2016.When Tay read the email, she claimed that that was when she learned about forgery being a criminal offence. She then destroyed the fake MC booklets and stamp.
Tay’s lawyer Raphael Louis asked for probation, but District Judge Marvin Bay said that her case was not “truly exceptional” to warrant the rehabilitative sentence. She would attend two to three classes daily and up to 15 of them weekly, which she admitted was “to the point of obsession”.
