He would then go to the storage space on his break where he would put the chips with his own things, which left the casino grounds with him toward the finish of his day of work.

Subsequent to gathering the chips, Tan took them back to his habitation in Johor Baru, Malaysia utilizing the Tuas Checkpoint. He would then hand them over to an accessory, recognized distinctly as "Alvin" who might money the chips for his benefit in return for a 10% commission. The specialists have still not had the option to recognize this man and their examination concerning his cooperation proceeds.

With time previously served, Tan could be out of prison before the year's over.
