SINGAPORE — A man who breached his Stay-Home Notice to celebrate his birthday with his wife and talk about their relationship in her car was jailed for seven days on Thursday .
On 20 September, as he was serving his SHN - which was slated from 19 September to 3 October at Fairmont Singapore hotel along Bras Basah Road - he told his wife to buy him a birthday cake, told her what flavour he wanted, before he snuck out of his room to spend time with her in her car. His request was denied as, given the rise in cases in Hong Kong then, all those who arrived from the city were required to stay in a dedicated facility. He was issued an SHN and told its requirements, including staying at his accommodation at all times. On the second day of his SHN, which was his birthday, Bai spoke to his wife and told her to get a birthday cake for him, informing her of what cake and flavour he wanted. He then arranged to meet her near the hotel in her car.
She drove him back to the hotel and he alighted at the driveway. He went back to his room using the same route he had left, and returned at about 12.08am. In mitigation, Dhillon told the court that the border measures then were that, if travellers had arrived directly from China instead of first transiting at Hong Kong, they would not be required to serve an SHN. Bai had made the relevant checks then, Dhillon added.
However District Judge Shaiffudin Saruwan pointed out that he was aware of the SHN. "Yet he blatantly disregarded that requirement and proceeded to meet his wife, for what for his birthday," noted the judge.
The belated birthday present is a staycation in Changi Prison. Well done. Lol
Cunning mainlander who became a US citizen and then a Singapore permanent resident, also cunningly circumvented his COVID19 SHN at hotel to satisfy his selfish desires - jail for only seven days without revocation of Singapore PR is too lenient! JusticeNotServed covidiot
can eat 白饭 at prison now..haha
