A part-time supermarket cashier copied the bank card details of 34 customers into a notebook and used the information to make 1,011 unauthorised ez-link top-up transactions totalling $41,330.
Kas Qiu Caiying then travelled to a number of MRT stations to seek cash refunds from the more than 500 ez-link cards she had used to store the monies.
The 30-year-old Singaporean was sentenced on Tuesday (July 21) to eight months’ jail after pleading guilty to 11 charges under the Computer Misuse Act involving more than $28,000.
Twenty-four other similar charges linked to the remaining amount were considered during sentencing.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Ben Mathias Tan said that Qiu was employed by the supermarket in Woodlands Avenue 1 between January and August 2018.
She was also holding a full-time job from April that year as an operations executive at the government-run Selarang Halfway House, which provides aftercare support to selected former offenders.
The Straits Times understands that she is no longer working at the facility.
