SINGAPORE — A 46-year-old Taiwanese woman who sneezed on and verbally abused another woman at the entrance of ION Orchard during the COVID-19 circuit breaker period earlier in April was charged in court on Wednesday (22 April).
Sun Szu-Yen is said to have intentionally harassed Devika Rani Muthu Krishna on 12 April at about 4.43pm at the entrance of ION Orchard by sneezing in her direction and shouting “shut up” in English. Her alleged offence is a contravention of the Protection from Harassment Act.
In a separate charge, on 4 June last year, Sun is accused of throwing a model globe, a plastic chair, a vacuum cleaner, a glass bottle and a few pencils down from level three of her condominium at Fifth Avenue, at about 10pm. Her charge relates to endangering the personal safety of others through a rash act.
Sun said in court through a Mandarin interpreter that she did not think what she did constituted harassment. She told the court she would be claiming trial but will not be engaging counsel as she can defend herself.
She will return to court on 29 April for a further mention of her case.
If convicted for committing a rash act to endanger safety, Sun may be jailed up to six months, or fined up to $2,500, or both.
If convicted on using abusive words, Sun can be jailed up to six months and/or fined up to $5,000.
