A 25-year-old woman <\/span>is on trial for rioting after allegedly joining five others at Lim Chu Kang Muslim Cemetery to attack a 17-year-old boy while armed with a taser.<\/span><\/p>\n Crystel Chong Hui Yi is also accused of allowing the same 17-year-old to drive a rented car in Toa Payoh. <\/span>The teenager reportedly crashed into a motorcycle after Chong let him drive the vehicle.<\/p>\n Chong is contesting a total of seven charges, according to Shin Min Daily News.<\/span><\/p>\n The Chinese daily reported that the prosecution is currently proceeding with the rioting charge for trial, while the remaining six charges have been set aside for now.<\/p>\n According to charge sheets seen by AsiaOne, Chong allowed the 17-year-old to drive a car along the service road in a carpark at Blk 64 Lorong 5 Toa Payoh, on November 13 in 2024 at around 12.50am. \u00a0<\/p>\n Chong, who was 23 at the time of the alleged offences, also allowed another teenager, 16, to drive a different car just 3 days later.<\/p>\n The 16-year-old teenager, who also did not hold a driving license, drove the car along North Buona Vista Drive towards Biopolis Drive. \u00a0<\/p>\n As both teenagers were minors, they are protected by a gag order under the Children and Young Persons Act and cannot be named. \u00a0<\/p>\n According to Shin Min Daily News, the 17-year-old teenager’s mother testified that Chong and her companions had showed up to their residence, urgently looking for the teenager.\u00a0<\/p>\n When the teenager’s parents met the group outside the lift, Chong informed them that their son had crashed into a motorcyclist, causing injuries. \u00a0<\/p>\n Chong then informed them that the vehicle that their son drove was rented and registered under her name and that $8,400 was required as compensation to the injured rider. \u00a0<\/p>\n The 17-year-old’s mother then testified in court that Chong asked them for $2,400 as an initial payout. The teenager’s father eventually handed over S$1,000 to the group.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to Shin Min Daily News, she testified in court that on 24 November 2024, she received a call from her son asking to borrow S$1,000. \u00a0<\/p>\n She hung up after refusing his request. \u00a0<\/p>\n She then testified that the next day, he returned home with injuries to his face and covered in dirt, prompting her to bring her son to lodge a police report. \u00a0<\/p>\n According to court documents, Chong allegedly joined 5 others in taking the teenager to Lim Chu Kang Muslim Cemetery on the night of 25 November 2024, where the teenager was punched and kicked. \u00a0<\/p>\n Members of the group, including Chong, were allegedly armed with tasers.<\/p>\n According to Shin Min Daily News, the court also heard a prosecution witness claim she saw Chong knee the teenager in the face during the incident. \u00a0<\/p>\n 2 of the 5 others who attacked the teenager were also aged 17. \u00a0<\/p>\n If found guilty <\/span>of rioting armed with a deadly weapon under Section 148 of the Penal Code, Chong <\/span>can face up to 10 years’ imprisonment. <\/span>She is also liable to caning under the law, though female offenders are exempt from caning in Singapore.<\/p>\n For <\/span>permitting an unlicensed driver to drive a car under Section 35(2) of the Road Traffic Act, she can also face up to <\/span>three years’ jail, a <\/span>S$10,000 fine or both. <\/span>Her remaining charges carry additional penalties of up to three months’ jail, a S$1,000 fine, or both, alongside driving licence disqualifications.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n [[nid:748407]]<\/span><\/p>\n swetha.sundararajan@asiaone.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n A 25-year-old woman is on trial for rioting after allegedly joining five others at Lim Chu Kang Muslim Cemetery to attack a 17-year-old boy while…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":97863,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=97862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/97863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=97862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=97862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=97862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Handed charges for letting 2 minors drive rented cars<\/h2>\n
