SINGAPORE – A man charged with theft over a wallet he stole in a pub when he was working for the Civil Service College (CSC) has been issued a two-year conditional warning, after he apologised and made full restitution to the victim.
Milton Pang Jianqin was granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal for the theft charge, a spokesperson for the Attorney-General’s Chambers told The Straits Times on Sept 29.
Those given such a discharge can still be prosecuted for the offence if relevant information or evidence were to emerge later.
In Pang's case, he can still be prosecuted for the offence if he breaches the terms of the conditional warning administered to him.
The 44-year-old was charged in December 2025 after he stole a $550 wallet containing $150 in cash, two credit cards, and a debit card from a man at the Medousa pub in North Bridge Road, shortly before 1am on July 6, 2024.
At the time, he was working as a senior product specialist at the Enterprise Technology Group’s Institute of Learning Technology at the CSC.
Responding to queries from The Straits Times, CSC said that Pang was working at the college, pending the outcome of the police investigation and the court case.
A spokesperson said: “As these have now concluded, CSC will commence our internal investigation process and take the necessary action.”
An offender convicted of theft can be jailed for up to three years or fined, or both.
Correction note: The story has been updated to clarify that Pang can still be prosecuted for the offence if he breaches the terms of the conditional warning administered to him.
