SINGAPORE: A former assistant general manager at Adonis Group was sentenced to 10 months jail on Monday (Jan 20) for cheating more than S$160,000 in training grants.
Lun Yeow Siang had conspired with a colleague to cheat the former Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) into disbursing the training grants, the police said in a news release.

Between September 2012 and June 2013, Lun conspired with her colleague to submit fraudulent claims to WDA for a total payout of more than S$160,000.
They falsified course attendance records and created assessment plans to deceive WDA into thinking that employees of Adonis Group had attended Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) courses held by Adonis International, an approved training organisation.
They then submitted those falsified records to WDA for multiple grant applications.
