The_Bear Turbocharged May 19, 2011 Share May 19, 2011 (edited) Ex-principal accused of misappropriating nearly S$150,000 SINGAPORE: A former principal of Maris Stella High School has been charged with misappropriating S$148,539.85 between May 2004 and September 2009. 64-year-old Anthony Tan Kim Hock, who retired in 2009, allegedly committed the offence in the school on 21 separate occasions. 13 of the charges involve a man known as Peter Lim, believed to be a relative and is said to be in his 30s. Tan allegedly used S$44,860.80 from the school management committee as well as the Director-General of education school fund accounts to pay for items such as seven of Mr Lim's overseas school trips and an open water diving course in Pulau Tioman. Tan is also accused of misappropriating another S$34,000 which was donated to the school. Another charge involved him allegedly misappropriating S$2,000 which was donated to three retired Marist brothers. Besides these, Tan is believed to have done the same with S$67,679.05 from the school's chapel building fund account. Tan is out on a bail of S$40,000 and is represented by lawyer, Dr Koh Hai Keong. The case will be mentioned again on June 16. - CNA/cc Yeah, so much for maintaining the reputation.... So where is the swimming pool?

Darryn Turbocharged May 19, 2011 Share May 19, 2011 I guess when you have a stellar reputation the fall from grace is so much further right? But do people really expect to get away with it? I don't get the thinking process personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
