SINGAPORE: Believing that a lorry driver in the same neighbourhood had punctured his tyres, a private-hire driver twice left urine and faeces outside his neighbour’s flat.<\/p>\n
Martin Chua Kim Soon, a 67-year-old Singaporean, was fined S$5,000 (US$3,920) by a court on Tuesday (Sep 22).<\/p>\n
He paid the fine in full after pleading guilty to two counts of insulting behaviour under the Protection from Harassment Act.<\/p>\n
The court heard that Chua was a private-hire driver with Tada at the time of the offences and lived in Bukit Batok Central.<\/p>\n
He suspected that the victim, a 73-year-old lorry driver, had punctured his tyres. The victim lived in the block across from Chua.<\/p>\n
At around 2am on Apr 28, Chua went to the victim’s flat and threw a mixture of urine and faeces outside.<\/p>\n
He returned to the flat again at around 3.15am on May 4 and repeated his actions.<\/p>\n
The victim was alarmed when he discovered the substances and called 999 both times, saying someone had poured “smelly stuff” outside his flat.<\/p>\n
Chua, who was arrested on May 4, has no prior convictions.<\/p>\n
He did not say anything in his oral mitigation.<\/p>\n
For insulting behaviour under the Protection from Harassment Act, he could have been jailed for up to six months, fined up to S$5,000, or both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
