Ex-employee of Singapore billionaire Peter Lim’s daughter Kim Lim jailed for stealing S$73,000 Patek Philippe

SINGAPORE, Nov 3 — A former employee of socialite Kim Lim was yesterday sentenced to 22 months’ jail after stealing a luxury watch and cash from her employer, misusing a company credit card and drink-driving in a company vehicle.

Tey Jing Wen, 33, was also fined S$3,500 (RM11,200) and disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence for two years from her release.

She pleaded guilty on October 8 to five charges, including theft as a servant, criminal breach of trust as an employee, driving without a valid licence and drink-driving.

Another five charges were taken into consideration during sentencing on Monday.

The court documents stated that the stolen items included a Patek Philippe watch valued at S$73,000 and red packets containing an estimated S$8,000 in cash, amounting to S$81,000.

Stole watch and cash from employer’s safe

Tey joined Lim’s beauty, wellness and healthcare company KL Health as a human resource assistant in June 2022, reported CNA.

She worked closely with Lim, who is the daughter of billionaire Peter Lim, on the company’s daily administrative matters. When Lim was away, employees would approach Tey for instructions, which she would relay after obtaining Lim’s approval.

In August 2024, Lim entrusted Tey with the combination to her office safe after her personal assistant resigned.

Between November 2024 and June 2025, Tey stole a Patek Philippe watch valued at S$73,000 and red packets containing about S$8,000 in cash, according to the charge sheets.

She later sold the watch for S$16,500 to a person who claimed to be a second-hand dealer while she was out on bail.

She used part of the proceeds to repay part of her unauthorised credit card spending, while the remaining money and stolen cash went towards her personal expenses, CNA reported.

Misused company credit card for personal spending

Tey also used a company credit card entrusted to her for personal expenses.

The charge sheets stated that she used the card on eight occasions between May 21 and 26, 2025, spending a total of S$19,191.12 at Bai Gong Premium Club and House Singapore.

Other charges listed in the court documents included cheating a private establishment into providing S$10,101 worth of beverages by using the company credit card.

She was also charged with criminal breach of trust involving S$66,000 and another S$8,000, which she had allegedly misappropriated for personal expenses.

A separate theft charge involved other valuables belonging to Lim, including a Christian Dior perfume worth S$705, Tiffany & Co earrings valued at S$3,600 and a Chanel cardigan worth S$6,929.

The items, which also included a Bvlgari bracelet and several bottles of Dior and Louis Vuitton perfumes, were valued at at least S$11,234.

Caught driving against traffic after drinking

Tey was arrested in the early hours of June 3, 2025, after a traffic police officer spotted her driving against the flow of traffic along Coleman Lane towards Coleman Street.

According to the charge sheets, she had 46 microgrammes of alcohol per 100ml of breath, exceeding the prescribed limit of 35 microgrammes.

She was also driving without a valid Class 3 driving licence and without third-party insurance for the vehicle.

The car had been reportedly rented by KL Health for designated drivers to use for daily errands, and Tey had been tasked with keeping its keys.

However, she took the keys without Lim’s permission while her employer was overseas and drove from the company’s office to Tanjong Pagar for dinner. — AsiaOne

新加坡，11月3日讯——社交名媛金林的一名前雇员昨日被判处22个月监禁，罪名是盗窃雇主名表和现金、滥用公司信用卡以及酒后驾驶公司车辆。

33岁的郑静雯还被罚款3500新元（11200令吉），并被禁止在获释后的两年内持有或获得驾驶执照。

10 月 8 日，她对五项指控认罪，包括作为雇员盗窃、作为雇员违反信托义务、无有效驾照驾驶和酒后驾驶。

周一宣判时，另有五项指控也被纳入考虑范围。

法庭文件显示，被盗物品包括一块价值 73,000 新元的百达翡丽手表和装有约 8,000 新元现金的红包，总计 81,000 新元。

从雇主的保险箱里偷走了手表和现金。

据 CNA 报道，Tey 于 2022 年 6 月加入 Lim 的美容、健康和保健公司 KL Health，担任人力资源助理。

她与亿万富翁林荣福的女儿林冠英密切合作，处理公司的日常行政事务。林冠英不在时，员工会向郑女士请教，郑女士在获得林冠英的批准后再转达指示。

2024 年 8 月，林女士的私人助理辞职后，她将办公室保险箱的密码委托给了郑女士。

根据起诉书，2024 年 11 月至 2025 年 6 月期间，郑某盗窃了一块价值 73,000 新元的百达翡丽手表和装有约 8,000 新元现金的红包。

后来，她在保释期间以 16,500 新元的价格将这块手表卖给了一个自称是二手货商的人。

据中央社报道，她用部分赃款偿还了部分未经授权的信用卡消费，而剩余的钱和偷来的现金则用于个人开支。

滥用公司信用卡进行个人消费

Tey还使用公司委托给她的信用卡进行个人消费。

起诉书称，她在 2025 年 5 月 21 日至 26 日期间共使用该卡八次，在新加坡百公高级俱乐部和会所消费了总计 19,191.12 新元。

法庭文件中列出的其他指控包括使用公司信用卡欺骗一家私人场所，使其提供价值 10,101 新元的饮料。

她还被控犯有刑事失信罪，涉及66000新元，另有8000新元被她挪用用于个人开支。

另一项盗窃指控涉及林某的其他贵重物品，包括价值 705 新元的 Christian Dior 香水、价值 3600 新元的 Tiffany & Co 耳环和价值 6929 新元的 Chanel 开衫。

这些物品还包括一条宝格丽手链和几瓶迪奥和路易威登香水，价值至少为 11,234 新元。

酒后逆向驾驶被抓

2025年6月3日凌晨，一名交警发现Tey逆向行驶，沿着科尔曼巷驶向科尔曼街，随后将其逮捕。

根据起诉书，她每 100 毫升呼气中含有 46 微克酒精，超过了规定的 35 微克限值。

她当时也没有有效的3级驾驶执照，也没有为车辆购买第三方责任险。

据报道，这辆车是吉隆坡健康中心租用的，供指定司机日常办事使用，而Tey则被安排保管车钥匙。

然而，在她雇主出国期间，她未经林先生许可就拿走了车钥匙，并从公司办公室开车前往丹戎巴葛吃晚饭。——亚洲新闻网
