The chargings come after videos went viral online showing large crowds in the area on Dec 31, 2021. The COVID-19 multi-ministry task force had called the impromptu gatheringThe men, aged between 19 and 22, are: Kotra Venkata Sai Rohankrishna, Harjaz Singh, William Alexander Brooks-Potts and Verma Pulkit. Their respective ages and nationalities were not listed in the charges.
Court documents state that Kotra was dressed in a Spider-Man costume during the time and allegedly interacted with about 20 people. The interaction included the recording of videos and photos, according to the charge sheet. Brooks-Potts, Verma and Singh each received two charges - they are all accused of failing to wear a mask over their mouths and noses near the Read Bridge at the same time, and of failing to keep a 1m distance from several other people.
If convicted of breaking COVID-19 regulations, the men could be jailed for up to six months, fined up to S$10,000, or both.
I am so sorry for those young people. If you don’t obey certain rules at 19, when will you and we know how Singapore can be fair and tough. The rules are clear. I am so sad for the parents as well. Let’s remain optimistic they will study elsewhere.
All that tax money spent to install cctvs and they could only pick out 4 people? Lol
This is seriously a joke. All your time and money, all those cameras, and the best you can do is pick out people because they look a bit different. And this 'super spreader' event, how many cases tied to this vs everyday MRT travel? Everyday is super spreader w/ failed vax.
Spider-Man Can Go Home👍☺️
Need time and resource to identify and trace who the rest are...stay tuned.
Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting, the first 4 Clowns from the NYE party to be charged. Come come, we all clap for you.
Agreed that Singaporeans are also involved without a doubt, but these ID10TS who seemingly look like foreigners violated the rules. So meaning foreigners can do as they like in any country? FARK OFF and Kick them out la.
Only 4?
That Spiderman tho
« Charged for not wearing a mask. Charged for having interacted with 20 people (sic). » Show their photo, give their names, take their visa away, kick them out of university, destroy their life. I clap for u Singapore. I clap for u CNA. 👏👏

Singapore 2021: let’s live with the virus now we’re all vaccinated. Singapore 2022: charging 4 vaccinated kids because they celebrate NYE outdoor. Singapore, continue to shoot in ur own feet.
