SINGAPORE: The woman suing prominent paraplegic William Tan in a civil suit has been convicted of all 10 charges on a criminal case.
Stephanie Chee, 50, has been fighting 10 counts of making false claims against Parkway Healthcare Foundation (PHF) and two other charitable bodies since early last year.
At the time of the alleged offences between March 2003 and April 2004, she was the general manager of PHF and Toa Payoh Senior Citizens' Health Care Centre. She has since quit the posts.
Chee is alleged to have submitted reimbursement claims for what she cast as legitimate payments for works done for the charities by other parties, when they were not.
One of the charges accuses her of cheating the old folks' centre by submitting a reimbursement claim twice - which led to the centre paying her twice - for a medical bill for plastic surgery run up by her brother.
In her civil suit, Chee made the news when she sued Dr Tan, a well-known neuroscientist and Paralympian, for the repayment of S$400,000 in alleged loans.
Mitigation and sentencing will take place on March 15.
