IPPT Cheater Cheated Over $24K For 4 Years & Was Jailed for 18 Months

If youโ€™ve taken your IPPT before, youโ€™ll never miss the posters peppered around the test area: if I remember correctly, it indicated that cheating is a very serious offence and offenders will be charged.

Well, it seems like what our enciks used to tell us has made it to the headline: someone tested the system and he got burned.

According to The Straits Times, Mr Lim Chun Chyi has been the mastermind of a series of IPPT cheats from 2011 to 2014. In total, it involved 93 cases, with him taking the IPPT for other NSmen 72 times (wah!?) and him โ€œoutsourcingโ€ the other 20 cases to others. Thereโ€™s no report pertaining to the one more case (coz 93 โ€“ 72 โ€“ 20 = 1?).

Apparently, Mr Lim doesnโ€™t stay passive and wait for clients to approach him: heโ€™ll actively solicit for his โ€œbusinessโ€.

Whatโ€™s interesting is that his โ€œclientsโ€ might not need to pay him: he โ€œearnedโ€ from the incentive awards. Before the new IPPT system and awards kicked in from 1 September 2014, the incentives were $100 for a Pass with Incentive, $200 for a Silver and $400 for a Gold.

Lest youโ€™re not aware, the new rates are $200, $300 and $500.

Sometimes, Mr Lim would request for an additional $50 from his โ€œclientsโ€.

In total, the amount came out to be $24,700.

He was finally caught in Khatib Camp after a fitness trainer recognized that he had been there a few weeks ago and did some internal searches.

Well, to be honest, itโ€™s just a matter of time: just think about it. Taking IPPT 72 times in four yearsโ€”even if you rotate between the four FCCs, youโ€™ll still stand out, especially when you get a Gold from the old system (the Gold running time for 2.4 km isโ€ฆa little torturous for NSmen lah). In a test, usually only a few would get a Gold timing.

Mr Lim was jailed for eighteen months yesterday (20 March 2017). Thatโ€™s like losing his freedom all over again, man.

Hereโ€™s the wise words from our enciks again: Donโ€™t try to test the system.
