Fined for not reporting change of address
By Elena Chong
A WOMAN who failed to report her change her address within 28 days was fined $500 on Thursday.
Ooi Siew Lang, 48, who is self-employed, had admitted to the offence between August 2009 and January 2010 when she moved from Yishun Ring Road to Block 840 Yishun Street 81.
The court heard that as a result of her failure to update her address, the new owner of the flat found debtor writings on the wall at the 11th level lift lobby on April 28 2010. A police report was made.
The complainant filed another report two months later in June 2010 when she found black paint splashed on the door of her flat and graffiti nearby.
Ooi admitted that she had been borrowing money from unlicensed moneylenders since 2005.
She had also stood as guarantor for about $4,000 borrowed by her younger siblings.
She did not report her change of address until Jan 30 2010, after she had moved into a flat at Block 868 along Yishun Street 81.
