  • Thomas Who Criticised Dead Traffic Police Officer Arrested For Shop Theft

    Thomas Who Criticised Dead Traffic Police Officer Arrested For Shop Theft

    The man who was widely criticised for his comments about a Traffic Police officer who was killed on duty was arrested on Sunday (Jun 4) – albeit over an entirely different matter.

    Thomas Chua Poh Heng, 39, was arrested for alleged shop theft at a department store along Syed Alwi Road, police said in a news release in the early hours of Monday.

    The incident took place at 5.37am on Sunday. In-house security officers detained Chua outside the store with an unpaid item and handed him over to the police.

    Chua was already under investigation for three other separate police reports lodged against him since January, police said, adding that investigations into these cases were still ongoing.

    Channel NewsAsia understands that the offences include shop thefts and traffic violations.

    Chua earlier claimed that he received traffic violations from Nadzrie Matin, the police officer who was killed in a traffic accident while on duty and gloated over the officer’s death. Chua’s comments, made on Facebook, were roundly condemned by Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam as an “insult to all police officers“.

    Police told Channel NewsAsia that Chua did receive traffic summonses but confirmed that none of them were issued by the officer who died.

    “The remarks were hurtful and unfair to not only our officers but to his friends, family and loved ones as well. However, we remain objective and professional in our dealing with Thomas Chua,” a police spokesman said to Channel NewsAsia.

  • Two Charged For Wrecking Porridge Restaurant At Upper Serangoon Road

    Two Charged For Wrecking Porridge Restaurant At Upper Serangoon Road

    Two of the three people arrested for wrecking a porridge stall along Upper Serangoon Road last Saturday (May 27) were charged in court on Wednesday.

    Both allegedly threw bowls, tables and chairs in Heng Long Teochew Porridge, reportedly after a dispute over their bill.

    Tan Sung Meng, 46, faces a charge of committing a rash act endangering the safety of others, while Pang Pei Pei, 40, faces a charge of committing mischief.

    The two are accused of acting together with Ang Sim Poh, who has not yet been charged. The trio were arrested on Monday and Tuesday, police said.

    Pang was brought to court on Wednesday in handcuffs. Police prosecutors sought to remand her for two weeks at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH), but defence lawyer K Ravendran objected. He said Pang has a five-month-old baby and had not made care arrangements for the child.

    The district judge granted Pang bail of S$5,000 to arrange for childcare before being remanded at IMH for psychiatric assessment.

    Pang has a history of psychiatric treatment, the court heard, but has not been attending follow-up appointments or taking her medication. She will next appear in court on Jun 7.

    Tan was also offered bail of S$5,000 and will next appear in court on Jun 21. He did not have a lawyer.

    The police said on Tuesday they received a report on Saturday about a group of people who threw and damaged items at 1012 Upper Serangoon Road. The suspects were also captured on closed-circuit TV overturning a table at the eatery.

    If convicted for committing a rash act, the suspects can be jailed for up to six months, fined up to S$2,500, or both.

    If convicted for mischief causing damages of S$500 or more, the suspects can be jailed for up to two years, fined, or both.

    Old Couple Who Abused Elderly Man At Toa Payoh Lor 8 Food Centre Have Been Arrested

    The police have arrested a 46-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman for an offence of public nuisance.

    In a statement issued early Wednesday (April 26) morning, the police said they received reports on Sunday regarding a couple who had allegedly used offensive language and force against a 76-year-old man at Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Market & Hawker Centre.

    The couple’s identities were established and they were arrested on Tuesday. Police investigations are still ongoing.

    A video of the incident, which was first shared on Facebook page The Local Society on Sunday, has since been viewed over 2.8 million times, and shared more 41,000 times.

    In the video, a man was seen shoving an elderly man while the latter was arguing with a woman. It is believed that the couple and the elderly man were arguing over a seat at the hawker centre.

    The video triggered an uproar online. An online petition calling for civil action against the couple has gathered over 8,000 signatures since it was created on Monday.

    Subsequent efforts by netizens to identify the couple were futile. A young woman was also misidentified in the process.

    Anyone convicted for the offence of public nuisance may be punished with a fine which may extend to S$1,000.
