SINGAPORE: Six people who took part in a gathering of 12 people on Lazarus Island were fined S$3,000 each on Thursday for breaking COVID-19 laws.
Sarkies posted photos of the trip on Instagram featuring all 12 accused, and the photos were reported on various media platforms,"attracting public attention and causing public alarm", said the prosecutor.He asked for a fine of S$3,000 for all six who pleaded guilty on Thursday, saying that Gold had been fined the same amount.
He said the cases cited by the prosecutor occurred during the"circuit breaker" period while this gathering occurred during Phase 2 of Singapore's reopening. He asked for fines of S$2,500 each.Deputy Public Prosecutor Timotheus Koh responded that just because the incident occurred during Phase 2 did not translate to a lower sentence as there is no correlation between the easing of safe-distancing measures and the sentence that should be imposed.
Lagesse said he was extremely sorry for what they did and regrets his actions, saying it"certainly won't happen again".
