Woman Lied That She Was Kidnapped to China to Get Attention from Husband

There is a certain type of people that everyone hates:

Yes, attention-seekers.

There’s always that one (sometimes even a few) classmate who will make weird noises and that one younger sibling who just can’t stop pretending to be hurt in front of your parents.

Urgh!!!

Today’s story is about yet another attention-seeker.

Just to put it out first, she had a good reason, but she did it wrongly.

The Straits Times reported that a 25-year-old Veronica Tay Ting Ting staged her own ‘kidnap’ incident so that her husband can pay attention to her.

Kidnap

Her 39-year-old husband, Mr Thong Meng Fie, lodged a police report on 20 Aug 2015, regarding her ‘disappearance’ after going for a smoke break.

He claimed that she had texted him earlier, telling him that she was “sorry” and that he have to “take care of himself”.

If that doesn’t sound like a peaceful breakup text, I don’t what that is. 

Thirty minutes later, Thong received a few voice messages on WeChat from his wife.

She claimed that she was “being drugged” and was kidnapped by an unknown man.

A woman being held captive by a man, “being drugged”, and yet can still send several voice messages?

Sounds like those Taiwanese thousand-episode dramas.

9 days later, Tay was at Ang Mo Kio Police division describing to the police what happened.

On that day, she was smoking at the New Industrial Road site, when a silver car with three men stopped beside her.

They apparently “pulled her into the car”, covered her mouth and switched off her mobile phone.

She told (read: lied) to the police, saying that they kidnapped her and took her to Changi Airport to fly to Ningbo, China.

She was then “released” five days later and flew back to Singapore “on her own” on Aug 27.

I’m not trying to show off my awesome math skills, but look:

She was kidnapped on the 20th, held captive for five days, and flew back on the 27th.

Hmm…

Moving on.

The police (kindly) carried out an extensive investigation but CCTV footage proved her claims wrong.

They confronted her and that was when she knew the game was up.

She admitted to lying and blamed it on her thirst for attention from her husband.

Stealing

She also misappropriated S$1,429 while she was working as a part-time sales assistant in a Triumph store.

It happened in November 2015, just three months after the whole ‘kidnap’.

Tay was unable to deposit the daily earnings of the store into Triumph’s International’s bank account between Nov 8 to Nov 16.

On Nov 17, she left Singapore and was arrested on Oct 12 the next year at Changi Airport.

Tay admitted to her crime and claimed that part of the money was given to her husband to pay off his debts.

Why is it always the husband??? Girl, wake up!

Tay will serve a default sentence of five weeks’ jail for not being able to pay the fines.

She was also fined S$5,000 yesterday (Feb 20) after she pleaded guilty to two charges- orally furnishing false information to a public servant and criminal breach of trust.
