Probation report called for Quan Yi Feng

SINGAPORE: A probation report has been called for television host Quan Yi Feng after she pleaded guilty on Monday to damaging a taxi meter and the receipt printer of a cabbie.

Two other charges - of kicking the right passenger door of the taxi and pushing and attempting to kick the 53-year-old cabbie - have also been taken into consideration.


District Judge Low Wee Ping said the court "seldom calls for a probation report for offenders who are more than 20 years old except under exceptional circumstances".


In her mitigation plea, her lawyer Mr Subhas Anandan, said Quan suffers from long-standing depression and anxiety.


A psychiatric report also showed that Quan was on anti-anxiety, anti-depressant and sleep medication right up to the time of the alleged offence.


The court also heard that the stress and media scrutiny have been emotionally draining on Quan, a single parent with an 11-year-old daughter.


Quan, who moved from Taiwan to Singapore in her early 20s, was previously charged with two counts of mischief and one of using criminal force.


The 37-year-old artiste appeared in court Monday, with her manager and her grand-aunt.


The clash with the cabbie, Mr Chan Swee Kong, took place in June last year at the junction of Upper East Coast Road and Bedok South Avenue 1.


Her lawyer said the cabbie had refused to help Quan with her three pieces of luggage.


A subsequent disagreement also arose over directions to the airport, where Quan and her daughter were heading to in the taxi.


Mr Subhas said the cabbie did not take the criticism too well and slammed the emergency brakes, causing Quan's daughter to fall off her seat.


A scuffle broke out between Quan and the cabbie, and her lawyer said the final straw was when the taxi driver insinuated that "Quan's daughter's distress had to do with not having a father".


Mr Subhas said the cabbie's refusal to open the car boot for her to remove her luggage, caused Quan to pull out the taxi meter at the spur of the moment.


She also spilled water on the receipt printer out of irritation.


Mr Subhas said Quan's "mental disorder contributed to acting against her better judgment".


He said she is "deeply remorseful" and is currently attending regular psychotherapy sessions.


Quan separated from her husband, former actor Peter Yu, after 10 years of marriage.


She did not speak in court on Monday.


Her case will be mentioned again on December 29.

Spray MRT is bad example to use as the culprit also FT

Spirit of LAW is supposed to be that regardless of status of the entities involved. Only LAWS & FACTS to be considered. FT or not. President or Peasants are supposed to be subjected EQUALLY before a court. And that's it.

Wrongs are showing up here. Inequality.

Selectivity.

Maybe she made a plea on the basis that she is single parent, promise to schedule psychologist for rage control, and invent a sob childhood story with the scriptwriters at Mediacorp...

So predictable, these criminal lawyers.

陈明莉 is the one that is helping her out alot. Without Mary, she would have been gone by now...

I pity her daughter who had to suffer with her anger management problem. I heard that the anger within the daughter is starting to show too.

This is getting ridiculous. What special circumstances. I could find none. Most cabbies don't help with bags anyway. Only at the airport they do that because of force of habit when the airport authorities first applied it. The damage and her conduct were beyond control.
