A FORMER supervisor of a welfare centre helped herself to various donated household items after illegally accessing a computer server.

Anne Hee Yoke Chee, 48, pleaded guilty on Monday in a district court to nine charges of illegally accessing the website of Passiton by making the donors believe that she was an authorised personnel from a chartitable organisation when they handed her household items, such as sofa set, dining tables and a piano between July 2005 and March last year.

Started in 2001, the Pass It On programme provides a channel for distributing unwanted but still useful, household items for the needy.

Donated items would be made available to all voluntary welfare organisations including family service centres.

Hee was employed by Care Corner Singapore as a supervisor in charge of Student Care Centre under Care Corner Family Service Centre (Toa Payoh) in December 2004.

Her duties included collecting students' fees, processing documents for subsidy cases and attending to students, parents and other volunteers.

She also accessed the Passiton website to reserve donated office equipment and furniture for use in the Student Care Centre.

She was dismissed in July the following year for depositing fees collected from students into her own bank account and making late payment of school fees to the finance department.

Between July 19, 2005 and March 6 last year, she had illegally logged into the Passiton website using the Care Corner FSC's user ID and password to reserve donated items online. She collected the items for her own use or gave them to friends.

Fifty seven other charges, including two of misappropriation of property, will be taken into consideration when she is sentenced on Friday.
