Grassroots leader charged in court for assaulting driver
JULY 30, 2015 BY TERRY XU IN NEWS, TOC REPORTS
A 48-year-old Permanent Resident (PR) from the United Kingdom is suspected of assaulting a 37-year-old financial consultant and drove a car towards the other, charged on Tuesday morning.
The accused, John Duncan Tasker faces two charges, namely for the use of criminal force and for driving rashly towards another driver, Yi Yongjie.
The accused was charged on Tuesday morning and will have the hearing next month on 25 August.
Provoked assault?
The incident is said to have happened at the car park of Parkland Green, East Coast Park, on 30 May (Saturday) around 6:10pm.
Mr Yi was waiting for a parking lot after dropping off his wife and kids at the car park when a silver colored car, driven by Mr Tasker, came driving in against the flow of traffic.
The car then parked in front of the space that Mr Yi was waiting for with his hazard light turned on. As a result, Mr Yi drove his car forward, in front of Mr Tasker’s car and wound down his car window to confront the latter.
According to Mr Yi, Mr Tasker alighted from his car and starting scolding him, calling him “an idiot for being slow”. An argument then ensued between the two men.
All of a sudden, Mr Tasker punched Mr Yi through the car’s window and walked back to his car.
The force of the punch was so great that it broke Mr Yi’s glasses and resulted in bleeding on his face.
Despite being stunned from the punch, Mr Yi hurried down from his car and tried to take down the Mr Tasker’s car license plate number.
“I stood in front of his car and he just stepped on the accelerator, trying to run me over while escaping.” said Mr Yi, who was subsequently treated at Changi Hospital for his injuries.
If convicted, the accused faces up to two-years’ imprisonment or a fine of $5,000 dollars, or both.
Grassroots leader and former military man
In an article about the visit of the British royalty to Singapore three years ago, Mr Tasker was reported to be formerly from the British military and he was once a personal protection officer for the late Princess Diana.
“Among those present were former members of the British military, including 45-year-old John Tasker. His 15-year military career included a stint as a personal protection officer for the late Princess Diana.” (see link)
In his LinkedIn account, apart from listing his current occupation of the Chief Operating Officer at The JLC Group of Companies (a privately held entity with offices in both Singapore and the United Kingdom). Mr Tasker identifies himself as a grassroots leader in his local community in the position of vice-chairman of a Neighbourhood Committee, a grassroots organisation under the aegis of the People’s Association.

what the fuck...now one foreign shit attacking another foreign shit? If sinapor is not their bush land, what is?
Trouble is these foreign shits believe being SPR they can become pappies prolumpars and run wild like beasts and scums to wallop people whenever buay song as if they are protected species.
The court must send such foreign shit bullies to jail. The country is no longer their British Empire. When these foreign shits see the courts as weaklings, a tiger without teeth, all of them will become wild.
So, he Chairman can anyhow wallop people, izzit? Pappies should tell this Brit scum to fuck off back to England or he can only bring disgrace to pappies' grass loot.
Foreign shit or FT? Sinaporans want neither. If SPRs are not deported for offences committed in the country, how the hell can the pappies protect natives from foreigners who can hit taxi drivers and any one when they are drunk, depressed, or plain aggressive?
Looks like Gardens Nina Bay to me...

Gardens by the Bay is ugly. Why not build a real garden instead of a theme park tourist money-trap?
The real gardens were demolished and flattened to make way for HDB's. So you get a artificial one instead which needs money to be maintained.
Yi Yongjie? hanyu pinyin name raise a flag. most likely Mr Yi was made in china.
thanks to pap, Singapore has become world class beauty...
