Sometimes superstitious can be used as a tool to cheat people’s money, no one is condemning any forms of worshipping but those that uses the “supernatural” to cheat others are definitely condemned.
17-year-old girl, Soh Chih Hui found out that her mother’s friend believed deeply in the supernatural and used it as a way to cheat the victim’s life savings.
The incident happened back in 2015 and Soh pretended to be possessed by a “Child Deity” some would describe this process as “Tiao Dang” and gave the victim Goh Seng Mui orders to take possession of her money in exchange for a “husband”.
However, even after handing the money over, the victim was not bestowed with a “husband”, The victim then questioned Soh but Soh responded by saying that more contributions would be needed in order for her to successfully find a husband. Which lead to the victim borrowing money from her brother and even cashing out her insurance.
The ritual was conducted with Soh pretending to speak like an authoritative figure and using a high pitch tone to speak to the victim. On other occasions, she would also use a low-pitched voice to pretend like other deities.
In the course of 6 months, the victim gave Soh over SGD$49,600.
Earlier today, Soh who is now 23-years-old was sentenced to a jail term of 1 year and 3 months, She also ordered to payback the victim’s money or she will face an additional 2 weeks of jail term.
Soh is currently out on an SGD$15,000 bail and she will start her sentence on the 5th July 2021.
