In a fight in 2022, Tony Tan Soon Yong punched a patron at Zouk and a security staff member.
SINGAPORE – A practising lawyer found himself standing sheepishly in the dock of the State Courts on Nov 6, after an alcohol-fuelled night out at Zouk nightclub in 2022.
Instead of cooperating with the officers, Tan hurled verbal abuse at one of them for seven minutes, telling him that “as a matter of law, you cannot touch me”. He also demanded that the officer seek his permission before taking his statement. Deputy Public Prosecutor Darren Sim said that sometime after 1am, Tan got into an argument with another man inside the club and punched the man twice in the face.
At this point, more security staff arrived to separate the trio before escorting them outside to wait for the police.
