Chiu Yong Qin Picture:Taiwan actor’s daughter jailed for stealing $110k in chips

SINGAPORE – A former croupier at Resorts World Sentosa was jailed for 21 months yesterday for stealing casino chips worth $110,400.

Chiu Yee-Fong, daughter of famous Taiwanese actor Chiu Yong Qin, spent more than a month slowly pocketing chips while working at Resorts World Sentosa.

She was only discovered after another croupier spotted a chip she had left behind on her chair when she went for a break.

Further investigation showed that she had picked up chips and put them into her blouse on 144 occasions.

She would then hand the chips over to her boyfriend for him to cash in at the casino, claiming they were given to her as tips from gamblers. He would then give her the money, most of which she deposited into her DBS savings account.

Chiu Yong Qin had also brought chips worth $11,100 back to her dormitory in Toa Payoh. She was fined an additional $8,000 for this count of criminal breach of trust.

However, she did not pay the fine and will serve another month in jail in default.

She broke down in court after her sentencing and told her parents she wanted to go home.

She could have been jailed up to 15 years and fined for committing criminal breach of trust. She could also have been fined up to $150,000 and/or jailed up to five years.
