SINGAPORE – A woman who previously tried to bankrupt nine cabinet ministers sued for trial on Wednesday (September 9) on charges of falsifying five official documents of the Supreme Court and the Attorney General’s Office to obtain financial compensation.
Tham Yim Siong, 47, was previously labeled a “vexatious litigator” under the Supreme Court Law. You were prohibited from starting or continuing legal proceedings without the permission of the Superior Court.
Tham and her parents had tried to hold nine ministers responsible in 2016 for alleged misconduct and violations, but their lawsuit was dismissed. Then they filed a series of applications.
In her present state court case, Tham is accused of falsifying three documents purporting to be original subpoenas, a way to initiate a civil lawsuit, issued by then-Supreme Court Clerk Vincent Hoong, a fraudulent press release allegedly issued by the Media and Communications Unit of the Attorney General’s Office, and a document purporting to be a Consolidation Order – an order to combine or judge joint actions – issued by then-Supreme Court Secretary Vincent Hoong.
The documents were allegedly forged between March 15, 2017 and August 9, 2018.

The Institute of Mental Health has assessed that Tham suffers from a delusional disorder, without understanding his own condition, according to the prosecution. However, it has been assessed that he is of sound mind and capable of defending himself. She represents herself in your case.
When opening his case, the prosecution said that Tham had sent the false summons of origin and the order of consolidation to various people, including ministers and public servants, through emails dated March 15, 2017, January 28, 2018 , February 6, 2018 and August 9, 2018.
He posted AGC’s bogus press release on his Facebook page.
Assistant District Attorney Ryan Lim argued that Tham had made the original subpoenas and the false consolidation order with the intention of obtaining financial compensation.
With AGC’s bogus press release, Tham sought to cause injury to Ch’ng Lye Beng, the DPP said.
It added: “The defendant created the false documents by modifying genuine documents on a computer, and intended to mislead others into believing that the false documents were genuine.”
The prosecution said it will rely on oral and documentary evidence, including four statements recorded by Tham.
The DPP will also call the IMH psychiatrist and admit his three reports on Tham.
The trial continues on Wednesday with questioning by an investigating officer.
If convicted of falsifying a document purporting to be a court of law record or a record maintained by a public official, Tham can be jailed for up to 10 years and fined.
