SINGAPORE – A young woman and a young man met in church, and connected with each other over their common interest in military-related items.
That interest landed both of them in jail, after she bought a live round from him. The 5.56mm-calibre round is similar to those used by the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).
On May 8, the woman, Jermaine Lim, 23, was sentenced to four months’ jail and fined $1,000 after pleading guilty to possessing a live round without a licence.
Another charge for 3D-printing a gun was taken into consideration during her sentencing.
The man, Javier Tan, also 23, was jailed for three months and fined $1,000 in January 2025 for abetting Lim.
