Man who spat and lied to Certis officer that he had Covid-19 fined $1,500 -
debono - 19-11-2021
When 43-year-old man was caught spitting, he refused to give his personal particulars to two Certis enforcement officers.
Poh Liang Chai said he had Covid-19 - which was not true- and when he entered a lift, officer Eswaran Kerishnan did not follow suit for safety reasons.
Poh pleaded guilty yesterday to one count of harassing a public service worker and was fined $1,500, in default of which he will have to serve a one-week jail term.
