The infamous “no badge no talk” auntie, Phoon Chiu Yoke, who adamantly refused to put on a mask at MBS even after being asked to do so by a Safe Distancing Ambassador, and challenged her (the SDA) to show her badge, is currently on trial for a similar offence she allegedly committed in 2020’s Circuit Breaker.

The 53-year-old woman was charged for failing to wear her mask on 8 May 2020 at Newton Hawker Centre.

Phoon pleaded not guilty.

Inside courtroom still remove mask

Her trial started earlier today on 24 May, and she appeared in a black blazer and skirt at the State Courts.

She reportedly only put on a mask when she was at the entrance of the court.

She then continued wearing the mask when she was inside the courtroom, until the trial proceedings started and she then removed her mask.

The judge then told her to put her mask back on.

Took off mask once outside court and smiles at reporters

Following the adjournment of the trial to 12 July, Phoon was then seen leaving the courtroom with her mask still on.

However, she then soon took off her mask once she stepped outside and smiled at the reporters outside who were taking her photos.

Recap

Phoon was seen refusing to put on a mask and challenging a Safe Distancing Ambassador to show her “badge”.

She was then seen trying to enter Central Mall without a mask and being refused entry.

Phoon was also seen shopping for groceries without wearing a mask.

The police were also seen confronting her at a carpark for not wearing her mask, and she was later revealed to be under investigation by the police.

Her antics have also spawned a series of memes, including a DeepFake video of her singing “Who Let The Dogs Out”, as well as her becoming emojis and stickers on Whatsapp.

Her father also revealed that she used to be kind and charitable.
