AN INDONESIAN man who lost all his money at the Resorts World Sentosa casino stole a mobile phone from an undergraduate at Changi Airport.

 

Paulus Djohar, 49, unemployed, was jailed for four weeks on Wednesday after pleading guilty to stealing a $500 phone from Ms Lim Tse Min at Terminal 1 on Tuesday.

 

A court heard that he came here from Malaysia last Tuesday with the intention of patronising the newly-opened casino at RWS. As he lost all his money gambling at the casino on Monday, the second day of its opening, he decided to steal from passengers at Changi Airport.

 

Early on Tuesday morning, Djohar was at the airport when he approached Ms Lim, who was with a group sending a friend off.

 

One of them in the group saw his suspicious movements and alerted Ms Lim, who discovered the phone gone from the side pocket of her backpack. She and the witness confronted Djohar.

 

Djohar, who said he regretted what he had done, could have been jailed for up to three years and/or fined.

Why blame the casino for this? This guy was born to be a crook. He would have stolen from others even if he didn't go to the casino - maybe not on that day, but I'm pretty sure he would have.

 

Jailing foreigners like him is a waste of our money. The simplest solution is to give him 7 strokes, send him on his way home and ban him from ever coming into Singapore again.

totally agree.

 

during winter, the number of crimes increased. more jailers.. they get free food and lodging. where did the money come from? We tax payers.

 

in Sg, casino = winter. winter has come people, prepare to pay more tax for these useless people.
