After facing 11 charges last week, another 320 charges have been dropped on infamous ex-tour guide Yang Yin for falsification the accounts of his company Young Music and Dance Studio.
According to various media reports, Yang had confessed to the falsification of more than 300 receipts, preparing and submitting false receipts to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA). The total amount for all the receipts in the 331 charges add up to $450,000.
The company was set up in 2009 with multi-millionaire widow Chung Khin Chun — whom he met while she was in China and formed a close relationship with. Yang obtained an Employment Pass to work in Singapore in 2011.
During that period of time, he crafted receipts reflecting payments for various services, ranging from $1,000 to $5,500 in payments. No such payments were actually made.
The Deputy Chief Prosecutor argued that Yang should not be allowed on bail, as he no longer has ties in Singapore — his wife and children have already returned to China. There was no guarantee that he will continue to subject himself to the authorities here.
In addition to these charges, Yang is also involved in another court battle with Chung’s niece over the elderly widow’s $40 million assets.
