34 y.o Priscilla Tan Siew Sin was charged with three counts of cheating the SafeEntry system today (12 Nov).
She was supposed to be at home doing self isolation pending the results of a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
Instead of doing the self isolation, she allegedly used her niece’s TraceTogether (TT) token to enter three places on three different days.
These places are The Poiz Centre (Apr 30), Esplanade Library (May 2) and Marina Square (May 2).
The accusations against her are of impersonating her niece’s identity as well as dishonestly misleading the SafeEntry system to conceal her identity for entry to the above locations.
Court documents did not reveal as to how she got caught.
Police said that such behaviour is irresponsible and they take a stern view on these type of behaviour.
They remind everyone to play their part to adhere to the safe management and distancing measures in view of the current pandemic situation.
Tan was eventually offered a $3,000 bail and will return to court sometime in December.
If found guilty of cheating, she is liable to be jailed up to five years and receive a fine per charge.
