Suffiyandi Shaiful Alfiah, a 35-year-old former assistant general manger, has been sentenced to 31 months in jail for forging cheques amounting to $250,000 over two years.
The Frank Abagnale wannabe had taken the liberty of taking cheques from the office cabinet of his freight forwarding company SIN LCL Consol in 2010 and made them out to himself, The New Paper reports.
Needing the initials of two colleagues who were authorised to issue cheques, he perused old documents and made copies of their signatures. He had also helped a former colleague by forging the cheques for him.
He was only caught after two years when the company received a returned cheque, of which the authorised signatories denied endorsing.
In court, Suffiyandi pleaded guilty to 30 charges of forgery and abetting cheating through forgery, while another 145 charges were taking into consideration.
