HE was a former national football team manager, a grassroots leader for 18 years and a veteran lawyer but it all counted for nought when he was sentenced on a charge of criminal breach of trust yesterday.
Tay Soo Wan, 50, who had pleaded guilty last month to pocketing S$46,015 (RM103,025) entrusted to him by a client, was sent to prison for 21 months on Wednesday, making him the fifth lawyer to be convicted in the past 12 months for misappropriating clients' money.
