"Between Sept 10 and 25, Brother instructed her to meet one Ong Loke Boey to collect large sums of cash.For instance, on Sept 22, Fong met Ong at a bus stop near Bugis MRT station and Ong gave her S$48,000 (RM145,043) in cash. Fong took the money across the Causeway later that day.She met Ong in the same area two days later to receive another S$48,000 which she transported to Malaysia.DPP Lim told the court that Fong did not ask Brother about the purpose or source of the money.Stressing that she had reasonable grounds to believe the cash Ong gave her was obtained through criminal conduct, he added: "Brother also warned the accused not to meet Ong in an area with CCTV cameras, and the accused suspected that this was because Brother was involved in criminal conduct and did not want the collection of the money to be recorded. "On Oct 4, a real estate agent lodged a police report stating that an online persona known only as Kelvin Lee had cheated her into transferring a total of S$288,130 (RM870,651) into five different bank accounts. Court papers did not reveal details about these incidents of cheating.For acquiring the money obtained through criminal behaviour, Fong could have been jailed for up to 10 years and fined up to S$500,000 (RM1.5mil) per charge. - The Straits Times/Asia News Network
