SINGAPORE: Television personality Quan Yi Fong was charged in court on Wednesday with two counts of mischief and one count of using criminal force on a taxi driver.
The 37-year-old host allegedly damaged a fare meter and a receipt printer of a ComfortDelGro taxi belonging to 52-year-old Chan Swee Kong.
The incident took place along Upper East Coast Road at around 8.40am on June 26 2010.
It is believed Quan pushed the cabby's chest and attempted to kick him.
She is also said to have kicked the right rear passenger door of the taxi.
Quan, who is represented by lawyer Subhas Anandan, came dressed in a light grey top and blue jeans.
She looked calm and smiled at reporters as she made her way to the courtroom.
The pre-trial conference for her case will be held on 29 June.
If convicted of mischief, for each charge, Quan could be jailed up to a year, fined or both.
And if found guilty of using criminal force on Mr Chan, she could be jailed up to three months, fined S$1,500 or both.
In 1996, Quan was fined S$1,000 for getting into a fight with a bowling alley attendant.
