SINGAPORE - Construction and engineering company Samwoh Corp was fined $10,000 after one of its employees flew drones on several occasions while unauthorised to do so.

The court heard that Mr Fong Woei Jiun, 45, was tasked with operating an unmanned aircraft to take aerial photos of a construction site at Tampines Avenue 10. The pictures were to be provided to Samwoh Corp's clients to show them the progress of the works.

On Sept 4, 2021, Mr Fong went to the site and flew a DJI Mavic 2 Pro for a total of 30 minutes to take aerial photographs .Investigations showed that Mr Fong had forgotten to seek clearance from the Republic of Singapore Air Force to operate the drone that morning, and that he did not realise his previous permits had expired days before.

Following the incident, Mr Fong informed project director Thoo Keng Hong, 51, that its use of drones was being investigated by the authorities.
