SINGAPORE – A lawyer was hauled to a district court on July 5 after she allegedly instigated her secretary to forge a supporting affidavit on or around Sept 24, 2020.
Lee Kim Kee, 65, who is also a director and shareholder at law firm K K Lee Law Corporation, is now accused of one count of forgery.
Court documents did not disclose details about the supporting affidavit dated Sept 24, 2020.
Lee is accused of instigating her secretary to commit the offence by fraudulently superimposing onto the document the signature and stamp of a Commissioner for Oaths, Ms Lim Yen Lan.
This was allegedly done with the intention of causing it to be believed that Ms Lim had signed and stamped on the affidavit.
Lee’s case has been adjourned to Aug 16.
Offenders convicted of forgery can be jailed for up to four years and fined.
