SINGAPORE – A woman who was caught on video berating at least two men in Sun Plaza shopping mall after refusing to wear a mask told a district court on Friday (June 12) she has “extreme rage” and “multiple personalities” issues.
Appearing in court via video-link, Kasturi Govindasamy Retnamsamy said: “Even if I were to plead guilty, what evidence is there that I would be given proper help?”
District Judge May Mesenas replied that Kasturi, 40, may be served a mandatory treatment order (MTO), which would compel her to undergo treatment for mental conditions in lieu of jail time.
The jobless Singaporean decided to admit to her offences when she heard this and added: “Show me some help… Give me some help.”
Kasturi pleaded guilty on Friday to one count each of harassment, using criminal force on a policewoman and an offence under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act.
Three other counts of harassment will be considered during sentencing.
Kasturi was spotted with a mask in her hand while in the mall at around noon on April 29. When told to put it on, she refused.
