Man Jailed for 16 Months ‘Coz He Stole 10,000 Fresh & Frozen Chicken
Au Yong Seh Enn, a 33-year-old Malaysian who worked for Hy-Fresh Industries in Singapore since 2013, was an operations manager. Hy-Fresh Industries is a chicken distribution company, so it, erm, distribute chickens lah.
Au Yong’s job is to buy, sell and deliver chickens to customers.
Last year, two staff members from Hy-Fresh Industries spotted major discrepancies in the stock figures for the months of September, October and November. In other words, there were less chickens than usual.
The employees told their boss about the missing chickens, and Au Yong admitted that he’s the chicken stealer.
The boss then made a police report, and more information about Operation Chicken Heist was revealed.

Firstly, the total cost of all the chickens is $50,000 to $60,000. Each chicken, whether fresh or frozen, was $2.86.
FYI, the selling price of a whole chicken in NTUC Online is about $4.65.
Au Yong didn’t take the chickens and makan all of them at home. Instead, he sold them to other people (third parties) by cartons of 10 chickens per box.
In September 2019, he misappropriated 2,337 chickens. In October 2019, he misappropriated 4,268 chickens. And finally, from 1st to 18th November, he misappropriated 3,971 chickens.
And he even misappropriated five cartons of chicken wings.

Chickens Can’t Be Found
The chickens are probably now in people’s stomach so they couldn’t be recovered. And Au Yong couldn’t make any restitution as he has used the chicken money to settle his gambling debts and repay loans that he had obtained from unlicensed moneylenders.
For stealing a grand total of 10,576 chickens and 5 cartons of chicken wings, Au Yong was sentenced to 16 months’ jail.
Lesson of the day?
Don’t steal chicken.
Actually, don’t steal anything.
