Gopalan Nair claims trial to abusing police, disorderly conduct charges

By Elena Chong, Courts Correspondent

FORMER Singaporean lawyer Gopalan Nair went on trial on Thursday for allegedly hurling vulgarities at two policemen and for disorderly behaviour.

Gopalan Nair, 58, now an American citizen, pleaded not guilty to abusing Staff Sergeant Kang Wei Chian and Sergeant Noor Azhar Daud by shouting expletives at them near the junction of Bukit Timah Road and Race Course Road on July 4.

He is also alleged to have gesticulated with his hands at about 10.35pm that day.

Before the trial proper began, Nair asked District Judge James Leong not to let police officers and the investigation officer sitting in court to 'go out and coach other prosecution witnesses.'

He also wanted to know the full names of the investigation officer and others, including Deputy Public Prosecutor Peter Koy.

The first witness who took the stand, Dr Gabriel Chong, from Raffles Medical Group, said that he went to Cantonment Police Complex on July 5 to examine Nair.

The former Workers' Party election candidate told him that he was pushed to the ground during his arrest. As a result, his spectacles were damaged.

Dr Chong said Nair complained of pains on his left shoulder and both arms.

The trial continues next week.

Gopalan Nair faces 2 more charges

By Elena Chong, Court Correspondent

FORMER Singaporean lawyer Gopalan Nair was charged with two more charges of using abusive words on policemen and disorderly behaviour on Friday.

Now an American citizen, he already faces charges of insulting two High Court judges. Nair, 58, allegedly used four-letter words on police officers at the junction of Bukit Timah Road and Race Course Road at about 10.35 pm on July 4.

Among the things he said was: 'Don't waste my f....... time. You go and do your job properly and catch thieves and I did nothing wrong'.

The other charge states that he gesticulated with his hands and shouted at two police sergeants.

He is out on $5,000 bail.

If convicted of using abusive words, he can be fined up to $5,000 or jailed for up to one year.

The other charge carries a maximum penalty of $1,000 or one month for a first-time offender.

He will be back in court on Monday.
