SINGAPORE - On Jan 8 last year, Mong Kok Peng was helping the victim, IMH patient Mr Wong Boon Pow, to change his clothes when Mr Wong showed him two $1,000 notes.
He told Mong, 34, that he had kept the money instead of registering it with the IMH for fear of losing it.
Mr Wong then handed Mong the notes and was told that the money had been registered and would be handed to him upon his discharge.
The next day, Mong gambled the money away at the Singapore Turf Club.
For using the $2,000 that a patient entrusted to him on horse racing bets, a former Institute of Mental Health (IMH) senior staff nurse was jailed for three months yesterday.
