SINGAPORE — When Silitonga Andri Parulian, 27, spotted eight slot machine tickets with a face value of S$24,000 lying on the floor at the Marina Bay Sands Casino, he was quick to act.
The tickets, which can be used to play slot machines or encashed for their face value, had fallen out of a staff member's ticket folder near the entrance to the invitation-only Ruby Room where Silitonga was about to gamble.
She had accidentally dropped eight of the tickets, worth S$3,000 each, on the floor at the door to the room. Knowing that the tickets were not his and belonged to someone else, Silitonga picked them up with no intention of returning them or handing them over to casino security, said SPO Lim.Silitonga quickly made his way to four cash-out machines in the casino where he encashed the tickets and received a total of S$24,000 in cash.
He went to a nearby Western Union remittance service where he sent S$3,000 to his Indonesian bank account and S$2,000 to his girlfriend's Indonesian bank account. The immigration officers prevented his departure and directed Silitonga to report to the Central Police Divisional Headquarters.
