SINGAPORE: An Indonesian man who lost all the S$1,000 he had with him at the Resorts World Sentosa casino was jailed for four weeks after pleading guilty to stealing a handphone from an undergraduate at Changi Airport.
The unemployed Indonesian, Paulus Djohar, stole the S$500 handphone from Ms Lim Tse Min at Terminal 1 on Tuesday.
He had intended to get some cash from the sale of the handphone.
The court heard Djohar came to Singapore from Malaysia last Tuesday with the intention of patronising the newly-opened casino at Sentosa.
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.
Djohar went to the airport early Tuesday morning.
He then approached Ms Lim, who was with a group sending off a friend going to Australia to study.
One of them saw Djohar brushed his hands across Ms Lim's backpack and walked away quickly.
The witness alerted Ms Lim who discovered her handphone missing from the side pocket of her backpack.
Ms Lim and the witness confronted Djohar and filed a police report. - 938LIVE/vm
