Property agent charged with obstruction of justice

Honestly, it is not that you are in financial difficulty… it is when you resort to 'anything' to get you out of that financial difficulty. I am in financial difficulty, but I pray hard, and look for other 'clean means' to get me through…

SINGAPORE: A 33-year-old woman got herself on the wrong side of the law after she allegedly took the rap for a traffic offence.

Leung Man Kwan, an associate director with property firm HSR International Realtors, was charged on Thursday with obstructing the course of justice.

The court heard that Leung received S$1,000 from Evangeline Tay Su Ann in February 2008. In return, Leung took the rap for a traffic offence committed by Tay in January that year.

Tay, who was driving her friend's car, failed to stop at a red light at the junction of Lornie Road and Sime Road. She then asked a friend to help her find someone who would take the rap on her behalf.

When approached, Leung, who was in financial difficulties, agreed to do so. If convicted of obstruction of justice, she could be jailed for up to seven years, fined, or both.
