SINGAPORE - Prominent businesswoman Jannie Chan Siew Lee started serving a two-week jail term for contempt of court on Monday after losing her appeal against an order for the sentence, imposed in 2017, to take effect.
Delivering the court's decision, Judge of Appeal Tay Yong Kwang said despite the fact that Chan was depressed and distressed by her problems, she knew that she was in contempt by sending out the e-mails. "It has been emphasised to her over and over again that this 'non-legal' route was in fact an unlawful one and that she should stop her destructive actions," said the court, which also comprised Justices Belinda Ang and Quentin Loh."Her recalcitrant conduct was persistent and pernicious despite the many opportunities given to her to simply stop."
"My daughter is in jail. I'm happy to go to jail," she said, referring to the 22-month prison term imposed on Audrey Tay May Li, 45, for drug charges in October last year.
