Singaporean sisters to get late brother's CPF savings instead of China bride

The High Court ruled that Diao Yanmei was in a sham marriage with the late Soon Chwee Guan, and that his CPF savings should go to his two sisters instead. – The Straits Times/ANN

SINGAPORE: Two sisters may now be able to get more than S$170,000 (RM511,560) in their late brother's Central Provident Fund (CPF) savings, after the High Court here ruled that the money should go to them instead of a Chinese national he married in 2011.

Soon Ah See, 56 and Soon Ah Choon, 54, found out their brother Soon Chwee Guan was married to Diao Yanmei, 47, only after he died in August 2013, and that his CPF monies would go her.
