After 36 years on the run, former NTUC chairman and ex-Member of Parliament Phey Yew Kok has been sentenced to five years jail, with effect from date of his remand, Jun 23, 2015, The Straits Times reported. Just hours before the sentencing, Phey pleaded guilty to misappropriating more than $240,000.In court on Friday (Jan 22), the 81-year-old who is now completely blind in his right eye, pleaded guilty to 12 of the 34 charges he faces.Clad in a white T-shirt and a pair of khaki pants, the silver-haired Phey pleaded guilty to 10 charges related to criminal breach of trust, one charge of abetting the fabrication of false evidence to a public servant and one charge of failing to attend court when ordered to by a judicial officer, The Straits Times reported.The remaining 22 charges were taken into consideration for sentencing.Speaking to the Straits Times, Phey's lawyer SC Chelva Rajah said that the former union boss is "ashamed and sorry" to let down the union movement, which he was wholeheartedly committed to.Mr Rajah added that Phey "suffered great hardship" during his 35 years on the run.
