  1. Home > Breaking News > Courts and Crime > Story Sep 8, 2008 Man sues company over jail time By Selina Lum A SINGAPORE businessman jailed six months in Indonesia for embezzlement has gone to the High Court here to get more than $2 million in compensation from the company that sent him to work there. Mr Leslie Ang Kok Wee, 38, was appointed by steel cylinder manufacturer Capitol Gravure Industries as a 'representative' tasked with safeguarding its interest in an Indonesian subsidiary. He described himself in court on Monday as a 'debt recoverer', appointed in July 2002 by the company as a commissioner of its subsidiary in Indonesia. While there in 2006, he was arrested and sentenced to two years and eight months' jail on two charges of siphoning $70,000 from the company. He was acquitted on appeal, but had, by then, spent six months behind bars. He claimed that he had to sell an apartment and his two cars here to raise $380,000 in funds for his defence. Now, he wants Capitol Gravure Industries to pay him $1.98 million in losses he suffered as a result of his imprisonment, as well as US$41,000 in legal fees. Mr Ang, who has a law degree and a masters degree in banking and finance, contends that the company had agreed to fully indemnify him for damages, costs and expenses incurred during his stint.

  5. SINGAPORE (AFP) - - A Singaporean man with a fetish for smelling womens' armpits has been sentenced to 14 years in jail and 18 strokes of the cane, legal officials said Friday. A court employee confirmed the sentence, issued Thursday, against Mohammed Ismail Ariffin, 36. Ariffin had a fixation for touching or smelling women, particularly their armpits, and was convicted of molesting 23 women, his lawyer Noor Mohamed Marican told AFP. "He's got this problem. Poor chap," Noor said in a brief interview. After reading an expert report that said Ariffin was likely to re-offend, Judge James Leong issued a preventive detention order, which means Ariffin will not be eligible for parole, The Straits Times said. Ariffin, who is mildly retarded, would often attack his victims inside lifts, the report said. It said Noor argued against a long sentence and in favour of rehabilitation and medical treatment. But Leong said he found "precious little" in Ariffin's favour, The Straits Times reported. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Poor man
  6. June 12, 2008 Killer litter drama at Clementi block Woman arrested for throwing an assortment of items, ranging from shoes, cartons and papers from highrise flat By Eisen Teo and Stephanie Song IT was raining papers, shoes, cartons and even tupperware at Block 331, Clementi Avenue 2 on Thursday morning. Police received a call at 9.15 am about things being flung from a seventh-floor flat, littering a playground and void deck below. Two fire engines from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) arrived at about 11.30 am and the rescuers quickly laid out an inflatable cushion at the foot of the block, as scores of residents looked on in suspense. More items continued to rain down from the flat, including hundreds of pieces of torn paper and pamphlets. Four SCDF personnel rappelled from the eighth floor to prevent the killer litter culprit from hurting herself. At 1.20 pm, police forced open the door to the flat and arrested 57-year-old Gina Ho Hock Tee. She was clad in a yellow blouse, blue and white striped shorts and yellow slippers. As the woman was being led away by police, she shouted: 'I never did anything wrong, why you handcuff me?' This is not the first time Ho had thrown things out of her flat, said her close friend, Ms Katherine Kng, 60, a factory worker. She had previously hurled pillows and blankets from her flat. Police are investigating. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2...ry_247102.html ok.. other then the iron, no sharp object thrown.. tsk tsk. confirm is killer litter.. goto jail, lose flat. __________________ The other story French woman charged with killer-litter By Elena Chong A FRENCH national was charged in a magistrate's court on Thursday with a killer-litter offence. Sandrine Bionda Courbet, 39, a bank executive, is said to have thrown three knives and a wooden knife holder from the kitchen window of her 15th-floor flat at Ridgwood Close on Jan 27. She initially wanted to plead guilty but when told by the judge that the offence normally carried a jail term, she changed her mind. The judge had asked if she wanted to engage a lawyer. She asked for an adjournment to make representations. She is released on bail of $5,000. Her passport was impounded. She will be back in court on June 26. If convicted of the rash act, she faces a jail term of up to three months or a fine of $250 or both. ----------
  7. goodbye jailbird ================== BT 31/5 FORMER National Kidney Foundation (NKF) chief TT Durai has failed in his appeal against a corruption conviction and will have to serve a three-month jail term starting June 10. The High Court yesterday dismissed Durai's appeal against the conviction and the jail term, with Justice Tay Yong Kwang saying he found no reason to disagree with the conclusion of the trial judge. District Judge Aedit Abdullah found the former NKF chief guilty of corruption in June last year, based mainly on the testimony of key witness David Tan. Mr Tan, a long-time friend of Durai, owned the design firm DTC to which Durai issued a false invoice for $20,000 in June 2007. The court found that Durai asked Mr Tan to draw up the invoice for design work at NKF centres to trick the charity into paying his friend. When pressed on the witness stand, Mr Tan could not say what work was done. Judge Aedit said the offence was serious because it involved a charity's funds. Justice Tay agreed with that verdict yesterday, saying Durai was 'in a position of trust and authority' at NKF and the money in question belonged to a charity whose funds come from trusting donors. He dismissed Durai's arguments that a custodial sentence would affect his ability to repay his debts to NKF. Durai owes the charity $4.05 million after losing a civil suit last year filed by NKF. The former NKF chief will start serving his jail term on June 10. The court allowed him to defer the sentence as his elderly mother is having an operation next Tuesday. The former NKF chief faces a second charge of corruption for allegedly using a false invoice to approve a $5,000 payment from the charity to an advertising company called DecisionOne. The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years' jail and/or a $100,000 fine. Durai is now working for Property Facility Services, a real estate management company, and is starting a firm in the United Arab Emirates offering health care and human resource services in the Middle East. He is its chief executive officer, based full-time in Abu Dhabi, with a pay packet of $25,000 a month.
  8. March 18, 2008 Road rage lands manager 5-weeks in jail By Khushwant Singh A MANAGER was so incensed with another motorist that he rammed the other car not once - but three times. For that, 42-year-old Chan Swee Leng was jailed for five weeks. A district court heard that Chan had parked on the extreme right lane of Geylang Road near the junction with Lorong 13 at about 2am on February 7 last year. Just as he was about to drive off, Mr Loh Chien Wei's car overtook him and turned right into Lorong 13. Chan then followed Mr Loh's car and rammed its rear three times. Damage to Mr Loh's car cost $4,800 to repair, as it required panel beating, wheel alignment and spray painting. Chan was also disqualified from driving all vehicles for two years after he pleaded guilty to committing mischief and damaging Mr Loh's car. Chan had denied committing four other offences and had claimed trial. These included allegedly reversing his car and causing hurt to Mr Loh's left leg on the same day and driving in a rash manner, intending to hurt another man. He was also said to have failed to keep a proper lookout, which resulted in his car colliding with a lorry parked along Lorong 13 Geylang. The prosecution decided not to proceed with these charges as certain witnesses were not available. Chan was granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal on these charges. This means he could be brought to court to face them later. For committing mischief and causing damage of $4,800, Chan could be fined and jailed up to two years. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/...ory_218036.html so million $ qn is wat is both doing so early in geylang?

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 risk 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.

  13. Driving on the wrong side of the road, drunk Driver could not explain his actions, which left one dead Leong Wee Keat [email protected] HE DOES not remember afterwards how he ended up driving against the flow of traffic along an expressway ? and worse, without his headlights turned on. . Eric Lim Liang Heng (picture) was drunk ?with twice the legally allowed level of alcohol in his bloodstream ?when his van crashed head-on into a car at about 4am on Feb 12 last year, killing its driver, Mr Toh Bock Keong, 34. . On Friday, Lim was jailed for three and a half years and disqualified from driving for 20 years, after he pleaded guilty to dangerous and drink driving. . Delivering the verdict, District Judge Aedit Abdullah said the offences were "grave and serious" and that a deterrent sentence was needed. . In court, it remained a mystery as to why Lim was driving his van against the flow of traffic on the Tampines Expressway. In his mitigation plea, the 28-year-old claimed he could not recall what had happened and that the accident had "caused him to suffer memory loss". . A driver who witnessed the accident said he had "noticed a dark object" approaching from the opposite direction, towards the Seletar Expressway. . Seconds later, the witness looked in his rear mirror and saw that Lim's van had collided into Mr Toh's car. . The crash wrecked Mr Toh's black Renault ?the front windscreen was shattered and dislodged, the right side of the car was extensively damaged down its length, and the top panel crumpled. . Pleading for leniency on Friday, Lim's lawyer Ravinderpal Singh said his client regretted his mistake and would "carry the guilt about what happened with him for the rest of his life". . Mr Ravinderpal also told the court that Lim had suffered permanent injuries from the accident. A medical report described Lim as "unable to run, walk for long distances and squat". He also cannot carry things with his left hand. . On Friday, the case of another suspected drink driver was adjourned until June 18. Last month, Wong Heng Chiang's car had hurtled across Penang Road and crashed into a bus stop, injuring six people. . Wong, 27, faces eight charges in all, including that of drink driving, dangerous driving and causing grievous hurt through a negligent act. He is out on $10,000 bail. ----------------- DUI - driving under influence http://www.todayonline.com/articles/193376.asp so what if he can't spank his monkey with his left hand.. he can still do it with his right... stoopig.
  14. here my take on drunk driving , don't waste time , straight to jail . To me it is a delibrate act , you had a choice. you do the crime , you do the time . then you reflect how macho you stupid actions are !!!
  15. Recently, there had been many news of car accidents which was basically caused by reckless driving. Personally, I have seen drivers who drive dangerously like driving through traffic lights which just turned red, stopping suddenly with giving advanced warnings, or just changed lanes abruptly. Is it because our current penalties for flouting traffic rules are too light and is not effective as a deterrent?
