Gambling addiction makes people do stupid things

A 39-year-old man who could not resist the temptation of Marina Bay Sands casino used his wife's identity card 10 times to enter the casino after excluding himself.

Wong Yong Kheong, a construction manager, applied for a self-exclusion order in October last year but on Dec 31, he began using his wife's IC to get into the Bayfront Avenue casino without lawful authority.

He was caught by a security officer who found that the identity card was not his as he was leaving on Feb 12.

Wong was fined $5,000 on each of two charges on Wednesday of using the identity card of his wife, Madam Wong Ban Siew, 39, to get into MBS casino on Feb 8 and 12.

He could have been fined up to $10,000 and/or jailed for up to 10 years on each of the two charges.
