Jackson Chan turned down repeated offers of help and was preventing other parkgoers from using the shelter, says the National Parks Board.

SINGAPORE: Enforcement action had to be taken as a "last resort" after a man staying in an East Coast Park shelter declined repeated offers of assistance, and continued to deprive other parkgoers of its use, said the National Parks Board on Saturday .

He was offered shelter but declined and was"resistant to any form of assistance", said the agencies, who noted that Chan appeared to be in good health. "Chan was not cooperative, was hostile towards the officers who spoke to him, and had also splashed a pail of water on a security officer who was patrolling the park," said NParks and MSF.

He also informed NParks officers that he had a home in Singapore, a point he later repeated in court.
