SINGAPORE: A woman who identifies as a 'sovereign' was sentenced to another five weeks' jail on Friday (Aug 18) for
who was presiding over the trial of a fellow anti-masker.
The court heard that Tan came to court on the morning of Aug 18, 2021, to attend the trial of Briton Benjamin Glynn. Glynn was on trial for charges including failing to wear a mask during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tan began making a scene. Footage from the security officer's body worn camera was played in court depicting the ruckus she made.
There was no contributory link between her condition and the offences, and she is fit to plead in a court of law. The insult was also directed at the entire court system, he said, with the victim a district judge. The comments were also given in the context of mask-wearing, which was the subject matter that the judge was adjudicating, said the prosecutor.
