The woman said it was impossible for her to have been smoking as she was preparing food for a waiting customer.
SINGAPORE: A woman was acquitted of littering at a Geylang bazaar, after the judge found inconsistencies in the prosecution's case.
Her colleagues, the cashier and the cook at the stall, testified for her and said Ms Suhana was packing burgers and had not left to smoke as it was a peak hour for business. Mr Farhan said he saw Ms Suhana extinguish a cigarette on a metal railing before throwing the butt on a pavement. She tried to explain that she had been busy serving a customer and that it was impossible for her to be smoking at the railing while a customer was waiting.
He said he would have known if Ms Suhana had gone for a smoke break as nobody could take over her role as they each had their jobs in the assembly line.District Judge A Sangeetha said the case boiled down to the word of Mr Farhan against Ms Suhana's, and on the quality of the enforcement officer's identification of Ms Suhana as the perpetrator.
"More importantly, the way came to identify the accused as the perpetrator raised some concerns for me," said the judge.
