Beep! Singapore man jailed, fined after tapping bus driver's face with EZ-Link card
SINGAPORE, July 21 — A 53-year-old man, Wilson Loh, was sentenced today to five weeks' imprisonment and fined S$1,500 (RM4,900) after he caused a scene on a public bus and used criminal force on the driver and a fellow passenger. He pleaded guilty to one charge of public nuisance and two counts of using criminal force by tapping the bus driver's face with his EZ-Link card and pushing the hand of a 75-year-old passenger who tried to calm him down, CNA reported. The court heard that Loh had consumed eight bottles of beer at a coffee shop in Commonwealth from noon on March 18 before boarding bus service 195 around 6pm. Loh failed to alight at his intended stop, and when the bus moved off, he accused the driver, 46-year-old Yin Xusheng, of not opening the door, despite the driver's explanation that he had. Loh then used his EZ-Link card to tap the driver's face, an act the court described as criminal force done to cause annoyance without provocation. He continued shouting and causing a disturbance on the bus until the next stop, where a fellow passenger approached him, only to have his hand pushed and phone knocked to the floor. Loh was arrested at about 8.20pm following a police report and was found to have a long criminal history dating back to 1989, including convictions for disorderly behaviour, snatch theft, and voluntarily causing hurt. During mitigation, Loh claimed he was triggered by being filmed after a Covid-19 vaccine, but the judge told him his drinking was to blame and urged him to control or stop drinking altogether.

5 claim trial to rioting, assaulting 17-year-old student in Seremban
Deputy public prosecutor P Rubini proposed bail at RM7,000 for each of the accused, but lawyer Razqeeyanur Sarini Salzali appealed for a lower bail, saying his clients are young and come from lower-income families. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : Five people pleaded not guilty in the Seremban magistrates' court today to two charges of using criminal force against a 17-year-old male student in an incident in Kampung Sentosa Jaya, Seremban, on May 8. Shazrin Shah Norazham, 19, Nur Ariq Farhan Ismail, 21, Nur Ezwan Ezanie Rohaizad, 24, and two other boys aged 17 claimed trial after the charges were read to them before magistrate Nurul Saqinah Rosli, Bernama reported. According to the first charge, the accused, along with others still at large, caused grievous hurt to the victim at about 11pm. They were charged under Section 325 of the Penal Code with voluntarily causing grievous hurt, read together with Section 34 of the same code, which provides a jail term of up to seven years and a fine, if convicted. For the second charge under Section 147 of the Penal Code, they were accused of rioting and causing hurt to the victim, which carries a jail term of up to two years and a fine or both, upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor P Rubini proposed bail of RM7,000 for each of the accused, but lawyer Razqeeyanur Sarini Salzali, appearing for all the accused, appealed for a lower bail, saying they are young and come from lower-income families. The court set bail of RM2,500 for the first charge and RM2,000 for the second charge for each accused, in one surety each, and fixed June 16 for case mention. Seremban police chief Hatta Che Din said last Saturday the suspects were detained after the victim's father lodged a police report. 'The complainant said his son was beaten up by a group of men, which resulted in the victim sustaining bruises on his left eye and pain all over his body. 'Initial investigations found the incident was triggered by a misunderstanding, and the main suspect in this case is believed to have attacked the victim thinking that the victim had injured his brother,' he said.
