SINGAPORE — A woman who refused to pay town council fees, claiming that there was "electric-air", "energy" manipulation and "black magic" by the Jurong-Clementi Town Council (JCTC), has failed in her appeals against conviction and sentence.
Court dismisses appeal by woman who was fined for refusing to pay town council fees citing black magic
Sylvia Seow Chwee Gek had been fined S$700 by a district court in October for a charge of failing to pay outstanding conservancy and service charges of S$751.75 to JCTC.The 57-year-old Singaporean woman had contested the charge under the Town Councils Act, saying the town council workers had joined a group of organised criminals and abused the"air-electric" around her.
She also turned to other parties — including Tanjong Pagar Town Council, her Member of Parliament, the Singapore Police Force and the Attorney-General — complaining about the town council committing"spiritual injury", unnatural offences and using a"bomoh", or witch doctor. However, she appealed against her conviction and sentence, arguing that the district judge had failed to take her reasons for not paying the fees into account.
