SINGAPORE: A mother and son
The mother Pea Lay Eng was fined S$2,000 while the son Chan Yao Xiang was fined S$2,500.
On May 17, Chan told his mother that he was going to the casino.
Pea then suggested that he used her driving license to enter the casino without paying the levy as she had already purchased a one-year membership.
Chan subsequently took the 52-year-old woman's driving license and entered the casino with it.
He was discovered when he wanted to leave the casino and scanned the barcode of his identity card.
The security personnel called the police when it was discovered that Chan had used another person's identity to enter the casino.
Chan was charged with using another person's identity to enter the casino and with not paying the S$100 casino entry levy required by Singaporeans and permanent residents.
Pea was charged with abetting her son to use her driving licence to enter the casino.
