SINGAPORE - Two residents of a flat in Compassvale were messaging some friends on WhatsApp amid the Covid-19 outbreak when one of them suggested having a social gathering at the unit.
The court heard that Leong Chee Mun, 37, and his fiancee, Cassie Ong Shi Hong, 32, agreed to host the event at their home on May 8 even though the circuit breaker was still in force.
They later hosted 16 people at the unit at Block 295C Compassvale Crescent, the court heard. Ten of them pleaded guilty on Wednesday (Aug 5) to an offence under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act.
