Former SAF captain Benjamin Song Yong Pang pleaded guilty to cheating 16 victims as well as multiple vaping-related offences. He deceived 16 victims, including subordinates, by claiming he needed money for investments or family medical expenses, while actually using the funds to service personal debts.
Investigations also revealed that he possessed and distributed vaping products in camp and involved junior personnel in obtaining them. Prosecutors argued that his conduct represented an abuse of authority within the military. Sentencing is scheduled after mitigation hearings.
