20-Year-Old Malaysian Secretary Steals SGD38,000 From Company To Tip TikTok Influencers
Subscribe to our FREE A 20-year-old Malaysian secretary has been sentenced to four months in prison in Singapore after stealing over SGD38,000 (RM126,041) from her employer to give as tips to TikTok influencers. Zhou Yu'en (transliteration) pleaded guilty on Thursday (10 July) to one charge of criminal breach of trust. A second charge under Singapore's Section 477A of the Penal Code (falsification of accounts by a clerk, officer, or servant) for forging payment vouchers was taken into consideration during sentencing. Zhou worked as a secretary at New Lixing Hardware and Environmental Pte Ltd, a recycling company, earning SGD2,300 per month from 25 June 2024 to 9 January of this year. The company's process worked like this: Customers brought recyclable materials to the warehouse for weighing Warehouse staff issued receipts showing weight and quantity Customers took the receipts to the company's office in Woodlands Link to collect payment Zhou would prepare payment vouchers with customer details for signing After customers signed, Zhou would pay them from a cash box at the counter When the cash box ran low, Zhou would notify her boss, who would either give her money directly or put it in the box after hours. The Theft Spree On 2 December 2024, Zhou's supervisor went overseas, leaving her alone in the office. That's when she started stealing. From December 2, 2024, to January 9, 2025: 42 separate thefts Amounts ranging from SGD65 to over SGD2,000 Total stolen: SGD38,315.30 Zhou also forged payment vouchers and signatures to cover her tracks, stealing the corresponding amounts to avoid detection. All the stolen money went toward tipping social media influencers— The term literally means 'to reward'. The Cost of Parasocial Relationships The prosecution noted that Zhou: Cooperated with authorities Had no prior criminal record She was only 20 years old when she committed the crimes They requested a sentence of four to six months' imprisonment. The judge sentenced her to four months in prison. This case highlights how social media culture and parasocial relationships with online influencers can lead people to make extreme financial decisions. Zhou essentially threw away her career and freedom to support strangers online. The irony? Her monthly salary of SGD2,300 meant she stole the equivalent of over 16 months' wages in just over a month – all to give virtual tips to people who likely never knew she existed.

The 49-year-old victim initially encountered the offer on Facebook before engaging with a woman via WhatsApp, who promised high returns.

Zetrix AI to challenge Bursa reprimand over 'misleading' disclosures
KUALA LUMPUR: Zetrix AI Bhd, formerly MyEG Services Bhd, is taking legal action to challenge Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd's public reprimand over alleged misleading statements and failure to comply with a regulatory directive. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the company said it intends to seek a judicial review of the exchange's decision after consulting its legal advisers. "The company and its board of directors, after consultation with the company's lawyers, will be seeking a judicial review on the public reprimand," it said, adding that further updates would be provided as necessary. The reprimand, issued yesterday, centres on announcements made by Zetrix AI in July and September 2023, which Bursa said were neither factual nor accurate, in breach of Paragraphs 9.35A(1)(a) and (b) of the Main Market Listing Requirements. Zetrix AI also allegedly failed to comply with a regulatory instruction under Paragraph 2.23(1) to clarify an earlier statement by Aug 16, 2023, despite a formal directive issued on Aug 15. The announcement in question stated that the Finance Ministry had approved the company's appointment as a government revenue collection agent and online service provider. However, Bursa found that the statement, issued on July 7, was inconsistent with a letter from the Home Affairs Ministry dated July 4. The regulator said that instead of issuing a correction, the company continued to maintain the same claims in follow-up announcements on Sept 13 and 14, even after questions were raised about its ongoing role in processing foreign worker permit renewals beyond the expiry of its concession in May 2023. In connection with the findings, Bursa imposed a RM150,000 fine on each of the seven directors involved, comprising RM100,000 for the inaccurate disclosures and RM50,000 for failing to comply with the clarification directive. Those penalised include group managing director Wong Thean Soon, executive chairman Datuk Norraesah Mohamad, as well as Datuk Mohd Jimmy Wong Abdullah, Wong Kok Chau, Datuk Seri Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff, Datuk Mohd Jeffrey Joakim and Mohaini Mohd Yusof. Bursa said the directors had failed in their fiduciary duties despite being aware of the inconsistencies, stressing that timely and truthful disclosure is fundamental to preserving market integrity and investor trust.
