Mobile Air owner Jover Chew has been the subject of intense internet scrutiny the past few days. His wife, Ms Winnie Koh was also at the receiving end of the public backlash.
Jover Chew's shop became infamous after two recent incidents -- recently refunding a woman $1,010 in coins, which included one-cents and five-cents, and leaving a Vietnamese tourist in tears while kneeling and begging for a refund after buying an iPhone 6.
Like Jover, Ms Koh, 31, also runs a mobile phone business. However, she insists that her shop, J2 Mobile, is not linked to Mobile Air.
Ms Koh wrote a post on J2’s Facebook page to distance herself from the shop at Sim Lim:
“Dear all, this has been very troubling and tough times for J2 Mobile. We have always conducted our business in a fair and transparent way. And have never cheated any of our customers.
“I would like to announce that J2 mobile has no business relations with Jover Chew. And that I have no comments on how he conducts his business”.
She also requested the public to stop harassing her for something she did not do.
According to The Straits Times, Jover Chew was the registered owner of J2 Mobile until 2012 when the ownership was transferred to his wife.
Ms Koh believes that Jover’s actions were not entirely his fault.
She said:

"In the past year, he has been influenced by bad company. When I met him, he was not this way".
At home, the couple also engaged in their own activities. He would play games on his electronic gadgets while she would continue her work.
Ms Koh also hopes that Jover will learn from this episode and improve his behaviour as well as the way he conducts business.
“He will have a hard time leading a new life because he is recognised everywhere now”, said Ms Koh

He married into a 'bad company' and probably learnt a few more 'new tricks' after his marriage now this 'company' wants to disassociate with the kind of company they are. How convienent.

[h=2]TODAY reports: Lawyers warned that Mr Jover Chew, owner of Sim Lim Square shop Mobile Air, could take legal action against those harassing him.[/h]

SINGAPORE: As the netizen-led campaign against Sim Lim Square shop owner Jover Chew continues, lawyers warned that such tactics – in part driven by frustration over ineffectual action on unscrupulous retail practices – put perpetrators at risk of running afoul of the law.
There are provisions under the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act which could apply in the case of Mr Chew, whose identity card number, address and mobile number have been dredged up and shared online by members of the public over the past few days.
Lawyers also pointed out that online anonymity could pose a challenge to police investigations.
Mr Chew’s troubles began following reports that he had attempted to pay a S$1,010 refund ordered by the Small Claims Tribunal in coins to a customer, and in a separate incident, Vietnamese tourist Pham Van Thoai had gone down on his knees to beg for a refund. His shop, Mobile Air, which had 25 complaints lodged against it with Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) between August and October, quickly became a symbol of the seedier side of Sim Lim Square.
On Thursday (Nov 6), a T-shirt printed with a Hokkien vulgarity was placed outside his shop, which was closed. Mr Chew’s particulars were also reportedly used to order three large pizzas to his home on Wednesday.
Mobile Air has also been served the Voluntary Compliance Agreement by CASE.
PROTECTION FROM HARASSMENT ACT
Lawyer Raj Mannar of Peter Low LLC said Mr Chew could take legal action against the source of harassment, especially if the online postings prove to be emotionally harassing and damaging to his business.
Mr Sunil Sudheesan, partner at RHTLaw Taylor Wessing LLP, pointed to existing provisions under the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act which could apply in this scenario. This would require a person to make a police report – Mr Chew’s wife is said to have filed one – followed by possible action by the Attorney-General’s Chambers after weighing the merits of the case.
However, little can be done if the person behind the harassment is not identified, Mr Raj pointed out.
While the Protection From Harassment Act – which is meant to better tackle harassment online – was passed in March, TODAY understands it is not fully in force yet.
Under this Act, action can be taken depending on whether the affected person feels harassed, whether the prosecution feels there is a case to be made and whether the person behind the harassment can be found, said Mr Sunil.
However, he added: “You can’t find who is behind the (online anonymous) post unless you go to the telco and find the IP address, but even that is not conclusive.”
While there have been calls for tougher consumer laws, Shook Lin & Bok LLP partner Robson Lee suggested more robust enforcement of the existing laws instead. For example, CASE could be given additional powers to administer fines to errant businesses.
The fines could be collected in a fund, which could be used to compensate victims of such practices and pay for foreign customers who have been affected to return to Singapore to assist with investigations, Mr Lee added.
In a Facebook post, Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin expressed shock at the behaviour shown in the Sim Lim case and said the Government should explore ways to “strengthen or adjust” the laws to deal with cases where individuals face hurdles in seeking resolution.

Re: Jover chew's wife: My husband has been hanging out with bad company

What talking you? Those running the country knows HOW to apply the laws?
When someone wants to avoid trial he can also 'fix up' a NO TRIAL BUT GOT FINAL VERDICT KIND OF JUDGEMENT.
So now I ask you again. What talking you or what have you been smoking? LoL
This scum is using a legit business to front activities of organised crime; scamming is only a part of his game.
If he could use triad members to intimidate customers at his shop, he would surely have used the same muscle for other criminal activities.
As usual, the mata mata would not act as long as the Minister himself is as blur as the sotong about such organised crime.
Sure, I know of certain large organisation that use legit method to scam ppl into putting their hard earned income into retirement funds when these ppl realised that upon reaching retirement or rather as promised earlier that such funds be returned...
these folks now realise their hard earned money isn't being returned to them.
Why apply your views only on Jover Chew? When you are also being scammed by another entity but perfer to remain quiet about it or worse, accepts such scamming.
Now what do they call ppl like you as? Hypocrite? LoL
