Just wondering about this question when I saw the 9pm news on Channel U. A 33 year old property agent was charged for getting paid $1000 to take the rap for a traffic offence. She was found out and could face a few year of jail. Here's the link. Charged for taking traffic rap (http://motoring.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/Story/A1Story20090618-149324.html) What struck me about this case was when Channel U flim her outside the courts, she's actually pretty. It was reported that she agreed to the deal because of financial difficulty. I think it must have happened when the property market is cooling down. The 1-3% comm from a case should be quite a lot right?

$1000 is such a small amount if she agrees to be a FL. She's easily worth $150 per shot. $1000 in exchange for a few years of jail is so not worth it, she probably spent a few thousands engaging a lawyer to represent her. If you have a pretty, shapely friend like her who is in financial difficulty, will you ask her to consider being a FL?

If I have a friend who is like her, I would probably ask her to consider being a FL. Seems a lesser evil than jail time. What do you guys think? Anyone can find her photo?

Hmm,
i think she acted rashly. Lots of easy ways to get $1000. Now she has to deal with the law.
Bro T.S, Not me la, i don't think i would ever ask a friend to be a FL. It's so darn wierd.

I agree it's a rash act. The news on Channel 8 is coming up. Go see the footage if you can. Really quite attractive. Long hair in a blue dress.

well probably not,
as a friend and on how good i'm on terms with her n considering my own finance status, i could lend her the money.

getting ppl to do FL, there would be lots of aftermath to deal with.
IF really suay suay, she gena any type of STD or what, she will definately be first to point finger to you liao, cos everyone surname will become "lai" including myself.

so i would prefer to have 1 more friend than 1 more enemy. :)

Hey bro, it's you again. Upped your points already hor. :p

So if you lend her the money knowing that she can't repay, will you suggest she sleep with you for a few times to clear off the loan? Just you and no one else. So the risk of STD is lesser. Will you? We heard of people heavily in debt. So when you know a person owes people a lot of money, will you still dare to lend her money?

She looks nicer in the footage than in the photo. Anyway, her segment of the news is right after the commercial break.

I thought "take rap for an traffic offence" is quite common, right ?
I even heard that market rate for 6 traffice points (or speeding) is about $1000 , there will be alot of takers out there.

how come she so suay to kenna caught ??

anyway, the punishment will not be 7 yrs lah. is "max 7 yrs"

if she first timer, no bad records... i believe her sentense will be just fine or just 2 weeks jail... just my guess :D

I remembered watching a Taiwanese news last year. The technology these days is so good that they can clearly see your face when the speed camera flashes. In Taiwan, according to that news then, the camera is so clear that they can capture you and fine you for not wearing a seat belt or using the phone as you drive. The cameras are located on top of the lamppost, just as some of our lampposts have cameras on top in Singapore. Imagine what if...

I feel sad for her as her case is made an example to send a message to the rest of us. May not be light. Yes it is common to get others to take the rap. Especially when you are asked if you had committed any traffic offence when you renew your motor insurance (if you qualify for safe driver's discount).

OMG:eek: go for court hearing still can wear high heels?

Quite chio in the footage right? Worth $150 per shot if she FL? She looks like 25 instead of 33.

Bro Xgenre,

If you friend misunderstand you than you jia lat lor ... even tho you might suggest out of good will but she might think that you wanna be her first customer.

And like wat bro kwaychup says, there will be lots of issues to handle if she got into trouble being a FL.

If really in the worst case scenario, than might as well suggest her to join in social escort ? Safer in many ways right ?

It's her. Same girl as the footage although I don't think the photo does her justice. Associate Director in a property firm sounds like quite senior right? Will do this kind of thing for $1000?

I know most of you guys are nice people who will not ask their friends to be FL. My point is just that I think it's better to be a FL to earn $1000 than to break the law to obtain the same amount of money.

Evangeline Tay Su Ann, in her 20s (student) failed to stop at a red light at the junction of Lornie Road and Sime Road.

Why does she need to do that???

Just deduct 12 demerit point for a year and only $200 fine.

Why she has to ask someone to rap for the traffic offence?? somemore have to pay $1000.:(

If it is my friend, I will lend her the money even with no hope of getting it back. If not a friend, FL it will be.

Maybe because if she gets deducted another 12 points, she may lose her license? Imagine you are on 14 points and you run a red light, what will you do? Paying $1000 may seem a lot but retaking the test will cost more.

if this is olden days....TS will be bring to court for 三十大版for 迫良为娼.....:D

Wah. 30 strokes? 20 can or not? :D Olden days also got prostitution mah. If she needs money so much, surely prostitution is better than to go to jail. The story is getting interesting. Just read the Straits Times. She was asked to take the rap by her ex-bf, who is a police officer himself. I wonder if she took the rap for the money (which seems little plus she is Associate Director in a property firm) or because she listened to the wrong advice of her police officer ex-bf.

Maybe that's why this case is so high profile. A police officer asking her gf to break the law. This case comes with 2 warnings. Warn the public not to get others to take the rap. Warn the police force not to break the law.

Lend her he money lah..

Since it is for short term difficulties. Unless she wants to earn lots then it is her choice and as friends, we point her in the right way and also give her a prep talk loh..

She's indeed pretty for a 33-year-old. I think guys wouldn't even think twice paying $150-200 to have sex with her. :D

But think deeper, who would ask a friend to be a FL? A real friend won't do that. Neither would one have the cheek to convince a friend to break the law. $1,000 is not a large sum of money. Commiting a crime or resort to being a FL for such money is absolutely not worth the trouble.

She quite suay. This type of case also can become so high profile?? Just for $1000? Hard to believe.
With her looks and position in HSR, can easily get amount higher than this by flirting with high profile clients. Can closed deals easily.
Maybe see her sexy pretty, the news paper splash her picture everywhere to gain readership. If she looks like lau auntie, most probably photo also won't appear. Sometimes you too pretty also not very good.:p

its just plain sway to get caught, frankly speaking..
no one expect to get caught seriously..

Easy money of 1k being offered to you by just submitting driving details is plain easy task to get the 1k..

Think about it as striking 4D, not so easy to earn 1k rite..

bottomline: a lesson learnt for her and everyone here who has this intention before..

Anyway, i will also borrow 1k to her if she really needs urgent cash.. if not, i will source for legal moneylender for her.. or creditcard cash advance lor.. i am sure she owns a credit card given her position in that company.

thats why i quoted how close i'm to her as a friend.
if close, i probably dun mind letting her pay via installments.
or maybe have very little ger friends who has a CFM face that i want haha :D

guys in need of $$ maybe wanna sell also cannot sell.

agreed, once expose to such easy way to earn money, the temptation to continue is quite high, unless she has very good self control.

i'll never let a friend or encourage her to be an fl even if she's the one approaching me, let alone me suggesting that to a friend. there's too much that could go wrong in the future, i'd rather lend her the money and let her pay by installment. and the lure of easy money is hard to turn your back on once you've step in, no way i'm gonna let someone i know suffer that. i've a few friends who was fl before, it's not easy for them, even after they quit.

anyways, the traffic rap case, issit just me or why the hell did the law let that stupid 20 year old Evangeline Tay Su Ann off scott free? she's the one who broke the law, and even sought someone out to look for someone to take the rap for her. it is sad that the 30 year old lady is the one being made a spectacle out of the idiocy of the 20 year old. yeah she could have decline but what does this tells us? money = power?

Know a lady that she is an fl before. Told me that last time when she is very broke and no chance then go to become fl, who know, after take 3rd customer she strike 4D and won a big amount then all the debt settle and still got a lot of balance but hor, once into this line, difficult to quit leh cos easy money, then she continue become fl for next 3 year then just quit.

So, I won't ask female friends become fl when they meet financial problems. If the amount is no too big, I will try to help them. Unless they are willing to become fl then nothing to say loh.......
