SINGAPORE – A man is said to have hurled vulgarities at a policeman and spat at another officer after he was allegedly spotted not wearing a mask over his nose and mouth while outdoors on Saturday (May 2) amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Singaporean Pay Kiaw Keng, 60, was charged in court on Monday with one count each of harassment, using criminal force on a public servant and an offence under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020.
He is accused of failing to wear a mask over his nose and mouth at the void deck of Block 644, Hougang Avenue 8 at around 9am on Saturday.
After he was caught and inside a police vehicle about an hour later, he allegedly hurled vulgarities at Sergeant Muhamad Danish Haikal Donny Budiarto Indarto.
Pay was at a lockup at the Woodlands Police Division at around 10.30am when he allegedly spat on Special Constable Sergeant Muhammed Shariz Sazali’s right arm.
Pay is said to have breached a remission order when he allegedly committed these offences.
He had served time behind bars for an earlier offence and was given an early release last December.
