WHEN army captain Kheng Kok Keong went to the casino at Resorts World Sentosa last year, that first visit got him hooked and he returned again and again.
In the next few months, he went on to lose a small fortune exceeding 'five figures' and, later, his family when his wife left with their two children.
On Thursday, he also lost his freedom.
A judge at the Subordinate Court jailed him for two years and ordered him to be caned 12 times for working as a loan-shark runner to clear his own debts.
Speaking to The Straits Times on Thursday before court proceedings, Kheng said: 'I went to the casino to check out the place out of curiosity but things started (to get out of control) from there and I just couldn't stop.'ORIGINAL SOURCE
