SINGAPORE - A woman who was captured on video refusing to wear a mask at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) integrated resort has been offered bail, after she was remanded at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) for two weeks.
Phoon Chiu Yoke, 53, has been offered $8,000 bail.
She faces seven charges for various offences, including failing to wear a mask at MBS, Newton hawker centre, Clarke Quay Central, Bras Basah Complex, and outside the State Courts building.
On Tuesday (June 8), Phoon told the court four times that she was a naval officer with a "strong professional standing", and asked for the charges against her to be dropped.
“I have a very strong professional standing, not only in Singapore, but globally... I served in the navy for 12 years and was the first female commanding officer,” she said.
She also said there have been "procedural errors" on the part of the investigating officers, alleging that she was arrested without a warrant.

Phoon also asked that she be offered bail of $3,000 without a surety, as she was the navy's first female commanding officer and has made contributions to Singapore "as a pioneer".

The prosecution had asked for bail to be set at $10,000, with conditions that she complies with current Covid-19 regulations and does not reoffend while out on bail.
The court was told that Phoon may face further charges.
Phoon told the court that her family members in Singapore were either ill or elderly and that most of her friends were overseas.

She also asked for clarification on what the Covid-19 regulations were.
District Judge Janet Wang said these were laws everyone else was abiding by, including the wearing of a mask in public spaces.
Phoon was previously on trial for a charge under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act: for failing to wear a mask over her nose and mouth “at all times” at Newton hawker centre, between 7.20pm and 8pm on May 8, 2020.
She had turned up for a hearing on that charge on May 24 and was seen removing her mask after leaving the State Courts building that day.

She was arrested the next day and slapped with five more charges under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act and one charge under the Infectious Diseases Act.
One of the charges relates to an incident on May 15, when Phoon was caught on video refusing to wear a mask at MBS after been told to do so by a safe distancing ambassador.

She was seen questioning the safe distancing ambassador on whether she had a badge and asking who she represented.
The charge under the Infectious Diseases Act is for loitering at various places in MBS while under stay-home notice in June last year.

She was remanded for two weeks at IMH after the charges were tendered against her.
The court was told on Tuesday that the report from IMH has been completed, but no details of the report’s contents were revealed in open court.
The case has been adjourned for further mention on June 15 for additional charges to be tendered.
First-time offenders who breach laws under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act can be jailed for up to six months and fined up to $10,000.
Repeat offenders can be jailed for up to a year and fined up to $20,000.

As women get older, they become more fucked up, irrational and mean. Especially during their early 50s when menopause is setting in. Avoid them for your own sanity.

MBS woman tells court to drop charges as she has strong global professional standing in RSN
Yesterday (8 Jun), Phoon Chiu Yoke, 53, appeared in court after her 2-week remand at the Institute of Mental Health was over. She was the woman at the centre of a viral video clip in which she was seen arguing with a safe distancing ambassador (SDA) over her refusal to wear a mask at Marina Bay Sands on 15th last month.

In the clip, Phoon asked the SDA whether she has a “badge”.

Phoon told the SDA, “If you have no badge, why are you asking me to do something? Who are you representing?” When the SDA replied that she represents MBS, Phoon retorted, “That’s what you say. I can say that I’m a police (officer).”

In court yesterday, Phoon told the court to “drop” the case before further “administrative inconveniences” were caused to parties. She also asked for her charges to be dropped due to “procedural errors”.

Phoon, who faces 7 charges of not wearing her mask in various places and breaching her Stay-Home Notice, told the court 4 times that she was a naval officer with a “strong professional standing”, and asked for the charges against her to be dropped.

“I have a very strong professional standing, not only in Singapore, but globally… I served in the navy for 12 years and was the first female commanding officer,” she said.

She also said there have been “procedural errors” on the part of the investigating officers, alleging that she was arrested without a warrant.

Phoon further asked that she be offered bail of $3,000 without a surety, as she was the navy’s first female commanding officer and has made contributions to Singapore “as a pioneer”.

Phoon is now out on $8,000 bail and will return to court on 15 June.

The maximum penalty for breaching COVID-19 measures is six months’ jail and a fine of $10,000. Repeat offenders can be jailed for up to one year and fined up to $20,000.

I am glad malays are barred from joining the navy. Malays just want their fishing fleet ( sampan) back.

Time spent in SAF is proportional to degree of despotism developed in the person

She's a smart lady and she knows that wearing a mask will increase her risk of catching Covid.

What is her rank in SAF??

Military Expert.

 

[bobby]

Tiagong she was asked to command a submarine but she could not fit through the conning tower....

 

[Cottonmouth]

Fat Phoon can be sentenced to me for some punishment. I will split her fat cheebye into 8 slices

Really smart.... to end up in court and possibly getting some sweet jail time.

 

[laksaboy]

She would have made an excellent PAP politician. Her attitude is highly compatible with the party's culture.

Too bad she isn't an SAF scholar, otherwise she's definitely a shoo-in for a tea session.

 

[Sideswipe]

she would be a greedy attention whore.

 

[Leongsam]

Really smart.... to end up in court and possibly getting some sweet jail time.

But she may have some underlying health conditions so she wants to avoid catching Covid from her mask.
