Vietnamese woman's third husband faces jail for role in bigamy
DPA
Singapore - The third husband of a Vietnamese woman convicted of bigamy was found guilty of helping her make false declarations to Singapore immigration authorities, news reports said on Tuesday. The Kuan Meng, a 36-year-old sales engineer, could face seven years behind bars, The Straits Times reported.
He married Tran Thi Gai, 29, while she was still wed to her first husband, Liong Tian Yong. Tran was jailed earlier for 11 weeks after marrying three men in five years.
Tran first married Liong to extend her stay in Singapore, the court heard on Monday. She was holding a Cambodian passport.
She marred Kelvin Quek Tze Beng in 2003 using another name. In August 2004, she tied the knot with The under her real name as she was pregnant with his child.
Investigations revealed that Tran was arrested by anti-vice officers and repatriated to Cambodia after she came to Singapore in 2002, the report said.
She moved to Vietnam and returned to Singapore on a fake Vietnamese passport. She was arrested by anti-vice officers again and sent back.
She entered Singapore in May 2004 on a new Vietnamese passport and gave birth in September that year.
When The filled out disembarkation cards for Tran on trips to Malaysia, he declared she had never used a passport under a different name, although he knew of her previous run-ins with immigration.
He also kept silent when they got married as Tran declared that she was single before the commissioner of oaths.
Lawyer Irving Choh told the court that The committed the offences out of love.
