A post of an advertisement saying “Great Opportunity to become PR (in Singapore” is trending in several social media chat groups for all the wrong reasons. The advertisement, which appears to be placed on a table in a food outlet in Little India, is targeted at Tamil-speaking Indian nationals in Singapore.

Former security guard jailed 12 months for waving chopper and knife at policemen
By Wong Pei Ting
Published 21 February, 2018
SINGAPORE — A father-of-four who brandished a chopper and a knife at police officers was sentenced to 12 months’ jail on Wednesday (Feb 21).
On August 17 last year, police were summoned to former security guard Ganesan Alagappan’s Jurong West flat by his wife after he broke a domestic exclusion order restricting him from entering the master bedroom of their home.
Alagappan, 47, who was fighting his wife for custody of their four children, had brandished the weapons at two policemen who arrived to conduct investigations at the divorcing couple’s house, and uttered in Tamil: “You have gun. I have knife. I can do something with this knife.”
A Singaporean permanent resident who hails from India, Alagappan pleaded guilty to three charges earlier this month.
The charges were for committing criminal intimidation by holding up the knives in his kitchen, using criminal force against a public servant by using his hands to forcefully slap away the revolver that was pointed at him, and attempting to voluntarily cause hurt to a police officer by swinging a plastic box at the officer in his living room.
Four other charges were taken into consideration for the purposes of sentencing on Wednesday. Two charges were for an incident on March 14 last year, when he hit his son, who was protected by a personal protection order, on the forearm with a spanner.
Alagappan’s altercations with the police last August escalated from two calls his wife, Ms Ganesan Kalaimani, 39, made to the police – one at 8.45am when she told the police her husband was “giving (her) problems”, and another at 11am because he stepped inside the master bedroom to take photos.
Sergeant Kumaraval Ananthan and Corporal Kor Zhe Ming, a full-time National Service police officer, attended to the family dispute both times at their flat in Block 156 Yung Loh Road.
Twenty minutes after the police arrived for the second time, Alagappan got impatient and attempted to leave the flat, as he said he had a family court appointment.
However, the officers did not allow him to leave the flat. They explained that they had to carry out preliminary investigations as a police report had just been lodged and the couple was giving conflicting accounts.
After failing to push aside a police officer who was standing in the doorway, Alagappan rushed towards a plastic box on the floor, picked it up and attempted to swing it at Mr Kumaraval.
Alagappan then went to the kitchen and picked up a 30cm-long chopper and a 21cm-long kitchen knife. This prompted the policemen to draw their weapons as they warned him to calm down, and to put away his weapons.
Alagappan obliged, forcefully throwing the knives onto the kitchen countertop. But as he was walking out of the kitchen, he used his hands to slap away the revolver Mr Kor was pointing at him.
Mr Kumaraval discharged his taser twice to subdue him, before they could get him to comply with the investigations.
Seeking a lighter sentence for her client, Alagappan’s lawyer Bernice Leong Huiqi pointed to his “unique state of mind” when his offences were committed.
She said that Alagappan was “unusually emotionally charged on the day of the offence”, which was due to the “undeniable” animosity between him and his wife.
He was also anxious to attend a case conference at the Family Justice Courts that day as he had missed a court appointment once, lending their child custody case in his wife’s favour, she added.
Alagappan’s 12-month jail sentence was backdated to August 19 last year, the day he was remanded.

SMRT bus driver fined $2,500 for injuring 14 people through negligent driving

SINGAPORE - Fourteen people were injured when an SMRT bus driver failed to keep a proper lookout and hit another SMRT bus, which had come to a stop at a bus stop.
On Thursday (Nov 30), Malaysian Subramaniam Kandiappan, 47, was fined $2,500 and disqualified from driving all classes of vehicles for two years.
The Singapore permanent resident had pleaded guilty three weeks ago to causing hurt to passengers by negligent driving on Jan 25, 2016.
Subramaniam was driving service 858 in the left lane of Lentor Avenue behind SMRT bus service 854, driven by Mr Teo Ser Hian, 66.
The distance between the two buses was about a car's length when Mr Teo stopped.
Subramaniam applied his foot brake but it was too late. Having failed to keep a safe stopping distance, he could not prevent his vehicle from hitting the back of the other bus.
The 14 injured passengers, aged between 22 and 69 years, were taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.
Six had been on Subramaniam's bus and eight in Mr Teo's. Two of the 14 passengers had to be hospitalised.
One of them, Mr Ricky Lam Koon Chow, 67, suffered injuries including a chipped tooth, neck pain and a tear to his left rotator cuff.
Ms Khoo Wai Yue, 51, was admitted for a night for a neck sprain.
The other 12 passengers suffered injuries such as bruises and abrasions.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Tan Si En said: "Due to the accident, the rear portion of bus 854 was badly crumpled whereas the front portion of bus 858 was badly crumpled and its windscreen was shattered... There was no mechanical fault in either bus."
Responding to queries from The Straits Times, SMRT said it was very sorry for the accident and a detailed review had been carried out. It added that Subramaniam had been reassigned to administrative duties.
SMRT's vice-president of corporate communications Patrick Nathan said: "The safety of our passengers is the top priority. We monitor closely the driving behaviour of our bus captains and work with each one of them to improve their driving skills and service standards.
"Our training programmes are individually customised to each bus captain's needs, and include a combination of classroom, simulator and driving sessions on the road."
For causing hurt by performing a negligent act, Subramaniam could have been jailed for up to six months and fined up to $2,500.

Stall assistant jailed for claiming in PR application that adopted children were his own

SINGAPORE - In an application for permanent residence status for three children, a stall assistant declared that they were his by marriage. In fact, they had all been adopted by him.
Indian national Noor Shahul Hamid Noorsulthan, 44, who is a Singapore permanent resident, was jailed for two weeks on Friday (Dec 8) for making false statements in the application on Oct 14, 2008.
The offence came to light only many years later. It turned out that the three were Noorsulthan's sister's children whom he had adopted. Two of them - now men aged 23 and 21 - have since served national service. The third is a girl aged 14.
The court heard that between 2003 and 2008, while in India, Noorsulthan decided to apply for a work pass to work in Singapore. He also decided to bring his family members here and apply for PR status for all of them, These included his three adopted children. He and his wife have a daughter, now 18.
He engaged an agent in India and procured documents for the purpose of applying for PR status for himself, his wife and the four children.
He arrived in Singapore and was issued an S pass to work as a chef.
On June 11, 2008, he submitted the forms at the Permanent Resident Services Centre in Kallang Road, applying for PR status for himself, his wife and the four children.
He claimed in the form that all the children were his, by his current marriage.
The application was approved in August the same year. He and his family members were subsequently granted PR status.
But when the Permanent Resident Services Centre checked with the Singapore embassy in Chennai, India, it was discovered that the birth certificates of three of the children were not authentic.
Noorsulthan was arrested on Aug 15 this year.
Pleading for leniency, his lawyer Rajan Supramaniam said his client was remorseful and had learnt his lesson.
"A severe punishment would also throw the accused in greater hardship in view of his job status and financial position which is very much needed to support his family and all his children,'' he said.
Noorsulthan could have been fined up to $4,000 and/or jailed for up to 12 months.
