New Straits Times: Ex-Miss Universe Singapore contestant jailed for credit card fraud

SINGAPORE: A Miss Universe Singapore 2017 contestant was jailed six weeks on Thursday after using her friends’ bank card details to make unauthorised transactions.

Ashley Rita Wong Kai Lin, now 27, memorised her friends’ bank card numbers and within a span of three months in 2016 spent more than S$2,000 (RM6,100) of their money on expenses such as ride hails, a hotel stay and clothing from online stores.

The e-sportscaster, who has nearly a thousand followers on her Twitch streaming channel, earlier pleaded guilty to four charges under the Computer Misuse and Cybersecurity Act, with 27 similar charges to be considered during sentencing.

The court heard that Wong had illegally used the bank cards of three friends, although the prosecution proceeded only on charges involving two of them – Andrew Lim, 28, and Kimberly Qwee, 26.
