Tarchandi Tan, previously known as Lee Hui Yin, maintained her innocence and said she would claim trial to her remaining charges related to contempt of court.
SINGAPORE: A woman who defied police instructions when she was being investigated for contempt of court was sentenced to eight weeks' jail and fined S$4,200 on Tuesday .after contesting them.
When she was finally arrested and carried out of her flat, she resisted strongly and spat at officers. "This cannot be right. Such an argument is contrary to the rule of law and is a recipe for anarchy," said the judge. Asked to give her mitigation, Tan said:"I already said very clear. On all the charges, I'm innocent. I made my stance very clear. They arrested me with no warrant, they have no body cameras switched on ... so I'm innocent."
When Tan heard her final sentence, she exclaimed:"Then like that ... that means I have to go through again the other sentencing for the first two charges?"
