Jail for ex-hair salon worker who spent over S$1,000 of customers' CDC vouchers on herself

A former employee of Yun Nam Hair Care, Phang Koh Xing, was sentenced to six weeks in jail for misusing customers' CDC vouchers. Phang, 31, accessed customers' text messages while helping them set up payment methods on their phones, obtained their voucher redemption links, and used them for personal purchases totaling S$1,167. Two separate incidents occurred between August 2025, with the first victim discovering unauthorized usage and filing a police report, while the second victim later received voluntary restitution of S$200. The prosecution sought a jail term of six to eight weeks, which the judge approved. Phang pleaded guilty to criminal breach of trust and violations of the Computer Misuse Act.
