    http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_645288.html AN AUSTRALIAN had his three-week jail term for being unfit to drive set aside, after the High Court found it 'troubling' that he was convicted on an amended charge without being given the opportunity to defend himself. Justice Steven Chong said the non-compliance with the Criminal Procedure Code was particularly serious in this case, as the prosecution had not produced evidence to support the amended charge. On June 23, 2008, John Peter Worrall, 60, the vice-president of oil company Swiber Offshore Construction, was driving home to his Bayshore condominium in East Coast at 11pm, after meeting colleagues at Harry's Bar in Far East Shopping Centre. His car went up a kerb and hit a tree along Bayshore Road. He was later arrested for drink-driving. After an eight-day trial that ended in August last year, he was convicted not of drink-driving, but of being unfit to drive. He was also convicted of not exercising due care and attention while driving, causing the accident - a charge he faced originally in addition to the drink-driving one. He was sentenced to three weeks' jail and fined $6,000, and was disqualified from driving for four years on the first conviction, and fined $800 and given a four-month driving ban on the second.
  2. Feb 17, 2011 Father gets jail and cane for burning his kids' buttocks By Elena Chong A SECURITY officer was given 48 months' jail and eight strokes of the cane on Thursday for burning the buttocks of his two young sons and subjecting them various forms of ill-treatment. The 26-year-old father of three had admitted to nine charges committed at his home between October 2008 and August 2010. Seventeen other charges were taken into consideration. The court heard that the accused had been taking care of his children at home while his wife went to work. The first time he caused hurt to his then five-year-old son was in October 2008, when he burnt him on the buttock with a hot ladle. The following year in 2009, he came home and found some burnt tissue paper in his ash tray and believed that the victim had played with his lighter. He decided to teach him a lesson by lighting the tip of his lighter and pressed it on his buttock. In 2010, he slapped and punched the boy on his arm and used a shoe to hit him for climbing the window grille. Months later, he lashed him with a telephone cable, for messing up the house. Among the abuses he inflicted on his younger boy were to tie him to a pipe in the toilet on two occasions in 2010, to stop the four-year-old from damaging items at home or hurting himself. When the boy was 3 1/2, he had burnt his buttock with the tip of a lighted cigarette, for wetting the newspapers. District Judge Ronald Gwee agreed with the prosecution that deterrent sentences were appropriate in view of the aggravating factors. He said the various acts of the accused over a prolonged period were rather cruel involving the use of lighted cigarettes, a hot ladle and spatula to burn the victims' buttocks. The accused could have been jailed for up to seven years on each count of hurting with a heated substance. For ill-treatment, he could have been fined up to $4,000 and/or jailed for up to four years on each charge. Have children for the sake of having them, dunno how to love and protect them. Give him a life sentence oso no diff.
  3. NUS PhD student spared jail term By Leong Wee Keat | Posted: 01 February 2011 1836 hrs Photos 1 of 1 SINGAPORE : A PhD student from the National University of Singapore has been spared the usual jail term for a road rage offence. This came after a High Court judge rejected an appeal by the Public Prosecutor for a stiffer sentence. 32-year-old Mohamed Feroz Mohammed Omar had been fined S$4,000 in a District Court for punching another motorist, Charles Wong Kia Choon, three times in the face on 29 November 2008. The incident arose after Mohamed Feroz swerved his car into Mr Wong's lane, forcing him to brake. When both drivers stopped at a traffic junction along Rochor Road in front of Albert Complex, Mr Wong, who was then 32, told Mohamed Feroz that he drove recklessly and had nearly caused an accident. They began arguing and Mr Wong called Mohamed Feroz "scum", which then led to Mohamed Feroz hitting Mr Wong. Deputy Public Prosecutor G Kannan had appealed against the sentence, calling it too "lenient". He also pointed out that previous road rage offenders in similar situations had been jailed. However, defence lawyer Subhas Anandan countered that this was "not a classic road rage case" where Mohamed Feroz deliberately trailed the victim and punched him without provocation. Mr Anandan said: "The assault may not have taken place if the victim had not uttered the word." Further, he said Mr Wong's injuries - a bruise on his left cheek, a wound inside his lower lip and tenderness over his upper back - appeared slight and superficial. There were no medical records or pictures of the extent of the injuries, the High Court heard. In dismissing the appeal, Justice VK Rajah said while the courts take a tough stance against road rage, it does not mean each case warrants a jail term. He added had Mr Wong's injuries been more serious, he would have allowed the Prosecution's appeal. Justice Rajah told Mohamed Feroz: "You are fortunate you pulled yourself back at the right time." if anyone bad mouth me the asianprince,i will just hamtum them back and pay the fine!!money is of no issue to the ASIANPRINCE!
  4. Feb 9, 2011 Fined $5,000 for forging MCs By Elena Chong A YOUNG woman was fined a total of $5,000 on Wednesday for forging medical certificates (MCs). Filzah Nadhirah Mohd Saleh, 24, was with Persatuan Pemudi Islam Singapura or Singapore Muslim Women's Association when she committed six counts of forgery between April and May last year. The ex-finance assistant admitted to two counts of forgery on April 14 and 16 by appending the date, serial number and the signature of Dr Ang Seng Bin on the MC purportedly issued by Lifecare Family Centre. A district court heard that the manager, Ms Rohana Abdul Latip, 36, was concerned about the frequency of the accused taking medical leave and decided to check with the clinic. She was informed that Filzah's last visit to the clinic was in October 2009. She felt suspicious and faxed over the two pieces of MC to the clinic for verification. The clinic staff said the MCs were not issued by them, and that Dr Ang had left the clinic since 2008. Filzah could have been jailed for up to four years and/or fined on each charge. This employer can just sack her right. Making a mountain out of a molehill.
  5. Ex-teen actor starts jail term for insubordination in NS FORMER teen actor Marcus Ng Yi Loong, 21, began his one-week jail term on Tuesday after he failed in his appeal to get his sentence for insubordination quashed. The High Court on Tuesday upheld the jail sentence meted out by a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) court martial in July last year. He was also reprimanded by a Military Court of Appeal for being rude to his superior. This is the second time he has been hauled up since he started his military service in September 2006. Ng, who holds the rank of Private, is perhaps best-known as the rebellious teen in the TV sitcom Phua Chu Kang. Ng's troubles in the SAF began in October 2006 when his superiors at the SAF Medical Training Institute slapped him with four charges for offences including not obeying orders. In February last year, while he was being investigated by the SAF legal process, Ng chased and argued aggressively with a 50-year-old woman Warrant Officer in his unit's Operations Room. A Master Warrant Officer, a trained Commando, saw the altercation and intervened. Ng rudely shrugged off the Master Warrant Officer's hand when he tried to calm the Private. For this, Ng faced two more charges: one for insubordinate behaviour after the Operations Room argument, and another for improper conduct. Last July, an SAF court martial found him guilty of these charges and sentenced him to seven days jail at the SAF Detention Barracks for each charge. Unhappy with the sentence, Ng lodged a Notice of Appeal - a legal right for all SAF serviceman to seek redress - and was granted a hearing by a five-person panel chaired by Justice Choo Han Teck. In the meantime, Ng was fined $500 for two of the earlier charges and acquitted on the other charges. On Tuesday, Ng's defence lawyer, Mr Wendell Wong from Drew & Napier, said a jail term was 'the harshest punishment I've ever seen for this sort of offence'' and urged the panel to quash the convictions or impose a fine instead. But Mr Luke Tan, head of Military Law at the Ministry of Defence, argued: 'This is akin to a case where a person is on bail. Has he learnt anything from it? No, he goes one up and goes after two other officers.' 'It would be inappropriate to give a little slap on the wrist by imposing a fine as that would be of little consequence to him.'' Some 25 people, including Ng's mother, Madam Florence Tan, 58, were in court when the panel reached a unanimous decision to uphold the first charge and reduce the second sentence to a reprimand. He appeared teary-eyed when led away to begin his sentence.
  6. Fine, ban for hit-and-run driver A HIT-AND-RUN motorist was fined $4,300 and banned from driving all vehicles for 12 months for drink driving and other offences yesterday. Tan Wee Teck, 48, managing director of Conint, a construction company, pleaded guilty in a Traffic Court to drink driving, inconsiderate driving, and failing to stop and help after an accident along the Tampines Expressway (TPE) near the Tampines Avenue 1 exit on Oct 9. The court heard that Tan, a former naval officer, was driving along the TPE without due care and attention at about 1.50am when his BMW hit the rear of a Ford Fiesta, driven by Singapore Press Holdings journalist Karen Teng, 40. He failed to stop and help. Instead, he drove back to his home at Elias Green. The Traffic Police came knocking on his door shortly afterwards. The police officer noticed that Tan smelt strongly of alcohol. He failed a breath analyser test and was arrested for drink driving. He was found to have 42mcg of alcohol per 100ml of breath, 7mcg above the legal limit.

But Ng Kok Peng, 33, a senior staff sergeant, is appealing against conviction and sentence. He is released on $10,000 bail. District Judge Sarjit Singh convicted him on Monday after a trial of kissing the 22-year-old and squeezing her breast at a staircase landing at Woodlands Checkpoint on Jan 18 last year. She is no longer with the auxiliary police force. Ng, from Jurong police division, had been deployed at the checkpoint at the time as a deputy team leader. During the trial, the victim testified that Ng had invited her for a smoke at the 7th floor staircase landing where he molested her. After the incident, she went to the toilet to wash herself as she had found his action disgusting. She related the incident separately to two colleagues who told her to lodge a report but she was reluctant to do so. She finally did so six days later. Ng could have been jailed for up to two years or fined or caned or received any combined punishment.
  8. CNA reports : Maid gets 3 years' jail for sex with employer's 12-year-old son An Indonesian maid who had sex with her employer's 12-year-old son was jailed three years by a district court on Wednesday. In doing so, the Courts has sent out a deterrent message to those convicted of sexually exploiting children. The 27-year-old woman, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim, had engaged in consensual sex and performed oral sex on him on four occasions last year. They only came to light on Christmas day after the boy's grandmother saw the maid performing oral sex on him. District Judge John Ng said the maid had abused her position of trust. He said the person entrusted to look after the children had, in fact, turned out to be a sexual predator. She should have done it with the Master and at least only sent back to Indon .......

  11. Dropping jail term 'one-off': Judge 05:55 AM Apr 14, 2010 SINGAPORE - A woman who drove a car without a licence because she wanted to get her son a toy successfully appealed yesterday against being sent to jail for the offence. Housewife Catherine Peter, 41, had in January been sentenced to six weeks' jail, fined $500 and disqualified from driving for four years on charges of driving without qualification and for other traffic offences. Her driving licence had been suspended for two years because of a drink-driving incident in April last year. In the August incident, Peter, the wife of a commercial airline pilot, had driven to a nearby mall when her six-year-old son, complaining of an earache, demanded that she get him a toy scooter. She decided not to wait for her husband and, after several fruitless attempts to get a taxi, drove to the mall, the court was told. Appealing to keep her out of jail, lawyer Naresh Mahtani said Peter had to take care of her children, aged six and nine, while her husband was away on flight assignments. Justice V K Rajah decided to set aside the jail sentence, saying that Peter was not likely to repeat the offence. He added that "this decision does not signify the present judicial status ... but it is a one-off case that commands a departure from the norm". Peter had paid the fine imposed earlier for drink driving, served five days in jail and been disqualified from driving. She now has to pay a fine of $2,500. Her four years' disqualification from driving stands. Ng Jing Yng
  12. Vietnamese plumber fined RM10,000 over RM75 bribe By FARIK ZOLKEPLI [email protected] JOHOR BARU: A 30-year-old Vietnamese man felt the full weight of the law when he was slapped with a RM10,000 fine and one week's imprisonment by a Sessions Court here for attempting to bribe a policeman with RM75. Plumber Vu Dinh Thuan was charged with offering the bribe to Konst Mohd Safwan Sallehhuddin at Jalan Leong Bee in Gelang Patah at 8.35am on Jan 24. The bribe was an inducement to not take action against him for not having a valid motorcycle licence. Vu Dinh pleaded guilty. When asked if he had anything to say before the court imposed sentence, Vu Dinh broke down and cried, and appealed for a lesser sentence as his wife just gave birth and he was the family's sole breadwinner. "This is also my first offence after working in this country for six years. I do not earn much and I have a family and an ailing father to support," he said. However, prosecuting officer Ridzuan Abd Malik asked the court to impose a sentence commensurate with the offence. Judge Salawati Djambari sentenced the accused to seven days' imprisonment and a fine of RM10,000, of which he could face a further 10 months in prison in default. The charge was classified under Section 17(a) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, which carries a sentence of not more than 20 years' imprisonment and a fine of not less than five times the amount of bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction. According to the facts of the case, Vu Dinh, who was riding a motorcycle, was stopped by Konst Mohd Safwan, who was attached to the Nusajaya district police mobile patrol squad. The policeman discovered the accused did not have a licence and was about to issue a summons when Vu Dinh took out RM75 as a bribe. Konst Mohd Safwan refused the bribe and warned the accused to keep the money as bribery was a major offence, but the accused persisted. He was detained on the spot. As of press time, the accused had not paid the fine

  14. Drag and drag for almost one year still want to fight. Yesterday (12 Oct ) he appeared at Court 4...the case is still on-going and may be closed within these 2 weeks if fast. My lawyer told me this is not the same case as the other fellow (buang at paya lebar road cant rem his name ) The other fellow is a working adult. This Bimond is a student. Even if got jail, at least a couple of months only. Somemore he is under 21. Same lawyer told me dont be surprised if he gota probation. Singapore law is such that if u are under 21, can have probation and "BIG" crimes can suddenly be considered "minor routine offences" Look at Ris Low. Credit Card fraud and still probation only. But only thing going against this boy is that the public is quite fed up with dangerous drivers on the road. His case was mentioned in the press and the outcry is apparent. Therefore Judge may have to put him in for a few months to satisfy public. My take:- 3-6 months imprisonment. Even if 3 months jail, after discount 2 months and further discount on special programmes he only go in for 4 weeks.

  16. CAN'T PAY Claiming he's broke, he face jail for not making payments By Bryna Sim September 17, 2009 Print Ready Email Article HE'S not irresponsible. He's just broke. Click to see larger image CANNOT AFFORD: Mr Tsai's ex-wife filed a complaint against him for defaulting on maintenance payments. TNP PICTURE: JONATHAN CHOO The divorce, who wants to be known only as Mr Tsai, has not met his maintenance payments to his ex-wife and two children for the last five months. If he does not pay $300 - the amount decided by the family court - by 28 Sep, the 51-year-old part-time security guard faces a one-week jail term. Under the Women's Charter, a person who fails to make maintenance payments can be jailed up to a month for each month of unpaid maintenance. But Mr Tsai claims he cannot afford the payments. He earns $500 a month, lives in a one-room rental flat and has to support another son from a previous marriage. His wife, on the other hand, earns $2,500 a month as a sales executive. Mr Tsai married his second wife in 1998 after his first wife died six years earlier. The couple, who have a 16-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son, divorced in 2005. In January, his ex-wife filed a complaint against him for defaulting on maintenance payments. He said he stopped paying after she did not allow him to see their children and applied for a personal protection order against him. He said he used to work as a full-time security guard and earned about $800 a month. But he lost his job after suffering a heart attack in January and could only get a lesser-paying job. Most of his monthly pay goes to daily expenses, Mr Tsai said. He also gives about $150 in allowance to his 22-year-old son, an undergraduate at the Nanyang Technological University. Father and son live in a one-room flat in Tiong Bahru. Mr Tsai told The New Paper at his flat yesterday: 'Sometimes, if he needs more money to buy textbooks, I would borrow money from my mother and elder sister.' Mr Tsai's flat is sparsely furnished. He has no TV. Father and son share a mattress and pillow. Meals - just two a day - consist mostly of canned food and instant noodles. CPF account Mr Tsai showed us his most recent CPF statement, which stated that he had less than $2,500 in his Ordinary Account and $188 in his Medisave account. 'So how do you think I can afford to pay another $150 every month in maintenance?' he said. He added that he could not even afford to go for follow-up screenings after his heart attack. Mr Tsai insists he is not being irresponsible. 'I care for my other children. If I can support them, I would. But I can't even provide for myself and my son,' he said. He said he would just go to jail if he can't come up with the $300 in two weeks. 'At least I won't have to worry about finding a way to pay the $300,' he said. But family lawyer Koh Tien Hua from Harry Elias Partnership advised against such behaviour. 'Going to jail is a form of escapism and it does not cancel out the amount he has to pay,' he said. 'The amount will simply snowball.' Mr Koh suggested that ex-husbands like Mr Tsai should undergo retraining so they can try to get an extra job. Lawyer Kelvin Lee from Samuel Seow Law Corporation noted that the main problem in such cases is that 'in Singapore, only men are required to maintain their wives and children'. In the US, he added, men can also claim maintenance from their ex-wives if the latter have higher earning power. 'The US looks at support for spouses, whereas we look at support for wives and children,' Mr Lee said. Both lawyers said the best recourse for Mr Tsai would be to apply to the courts for his maintenance payment to be cut. Mr Koh said: 'If he just says he has no money, the court will not accept it as a valid reason. Stoopid Mr. Koh....... ppl really no money mah,

Hootee: Eng Eng Leng, 45 http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNew...ory_424031.html Sep 1, 2009 Road rage man gets jail By Elena Chong A SELF-EMPLOYED man was sentenced to four months' jail on Tuesday for assaulting a driver with a bat. Lui Eng Teck, 44, pleaded guilty to using a bat to hit Mr Eng Eng Leng, 45, on his left arm at a road shoulder of Tampines Expressway (TPE) on May 13 last year. A district court heard that Mr Eng was driving a lorry at a slip road of TPE when he gave way to a SBS Transit bus due to the merging lane. Suddenly, Lui's car appeared on the left of the victim's lorry and cut in between the victim and the SBS bus, forcing the victim to brake hard to avoid a collision. The victim sounded his horn to alert Lui of his reckless driving. Lui then slowed his vehicle down, forcing the victim to do the same. Mr Eng then signalled to Lui to pull over the road shoulder of the expressway. Both men got down from their vehicles. While walking towards each other, Lui turned back and pulled out a bat which he used to hit the victim twice on the left arm. When the victim said he was going to call the police, Lui drove off. Lui, who had his sentence deferred till Sept 29 to settle his working arrangements, had a similar conviction 10 years ago. He had also been convicted of reckless and dangerous driving. He could have been jailed for up to two years and/or fined up to $5,000 for voluntarily causing hurt.

He gets lost outside Marsiling flats, then sets fire to clothes with cigarette butts By Amanda Yong May 12, 2009 Print Ready Email Article ONE wrong turn, and he ended up lost in a block of flats. Derrick Ee, 35, could not find his friend's unit and decided to have a smoke. When he was through, he flicked the cigarette butt onto some clothes hanging outside a flat and caused about $50 worth of damage. Then, 1 1/2 hours later, around 4am on 2 Apr, he did the same thing to clothes outside a neighbouring unit. They ended up catching fire, and when Ee saw them burning, he ran off. This time, he managed to find his friend's flat. The police tracked him down and arrested him a few days later. Ee pleaded guilty to one charge of mischief by fire and was jailed five months. Another similar charge was taken into consideration during sentencing. The court heard that Ee had been living in his friend's flat on the fourth storey of Block 18, Marsiling Lane. He was headed there in the early hours after drinking at a coffee shop. Lost But Ee went up the wrong staircase and when he got to the fourth floor, he could not find the unit. It was after that that he began flicking cigarette butts on to the clothes. The second time he did that, he ended up burning 12 pieces of clothing and four bamboo poles worth $100. When Ee saw them alight, he got frightened and took off. The owner of the clothes woke up to find her clothes burnt. She called the police later that morning. In his mitigation, Ee pleaded for a light sentence. He said: 'I recognise that I did wrong and I seek the forgiveness of Your Honour and of my neighbour... I will not commit the offence again.' For committing mischief by fire, he could have been jailed seven years and fined. ERMMMM, 5 months jail for burning. 1 day for murder... WHAT DO U GUYS TINK???

Chng, 51, was convicted on three counts of wilfully making false entries in his income tax returns for years of assessment of 1995, 2001 and 2002, relating to income from his audit and tax advisory firm CT Chng & Co. He under-reported a total of $152,275 of income for those years of assessment. Inquiries revealed he stated lower gross profit figures, which led to lower adjusted profit values. He was jailed for six months and ordered to pay a penalty of $75,200.52 - three times the $25,066.84 of tax under-charged. 'Investigations revealed that Chng Chor Tong was fully aware of the amount of takings from his sole proprietorship and deliberately under-reported his income over several years,' the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) said in a statement yesterday. 'This case serves to remind taxpayers that IRAS can bring a person to court for a tax evasion offence regardless of the number of years that has passed.' Chng was charged in August last year with 11 counts of tax evasion for making false entries in his income tax returns. He was found to have under-reported income totalling $2,438,325 for years of assessment 1995 to 2005 from his professional practice. He pleaded guilty to three of the 11 charges and was given a discharge not amounting to acquittal on three charges for years of assessment 2003 to 2005. The Comptroller of Income Tax withdrew the remaining five charges and compounded these offences for $944,681.73. IRAS said yesterday it takes a serious view of such offences by errant tax agents. 'Tax agents, especially accountants, have extensive knowledge and understanding of the Singapore tax system and are expected to be compliant with their own tax reporting obligations,' it said. 'IRAS will take harsh action against those who deliberately facilitate clients in under-declaring their tax or exploiting grey areas in the existing legal and administrative tax system.' IRAS also said the clients of errant tax agents will be under scrutiny. IRAS investigators unearthed Chng's involvement in a separate tax evasion case involving a client. 'Arising from this, Chng Chor Tong has paid $200,000 for compounding his offence in abetting one of his clients in the commission of a tax offence,' IRAS said. In a separate case, OT Corporate Services yesterday became the first company to be convicted under the Serious Fraudulent Tax Evasion Provision. It was found guilty of omitting income of $172,490 from its tax return and maintaining a false record for sub-contractor expenses amounting to $240,000 for year of assessment 2006. It was fined $15,000 and ordered to pay a penalty of $256,329.68.

CONFIRM he was drunk, cos i mean, HOW DO U END UP IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON THE PIE!! i've seen my fair share of stupid drivers, from pple who change lanes without indicating, anyhow cutting, to half drunk drivers swerving from left to right, but this guy takes the cake man driving in the wrong direction on the PIE. anyone else saw this moron?
