29-year-old Han Feizi, who was seen in a viral video arguing with the police at the Singapore General Hospital, reportedly still remains in jail because she has not been able to find a bailor to bail her out.
She was charged in court on 13 October and faced 6 charges, which she is intending to plead guilty against.
Han was then granted a bail of $15,000 by the judge and asked if she can find a bailor, which she said she should be able to find one, according to Lianhe Zaobao.
Zaobao saw Han leaving the court following her hearing which she appeared from the police cantonment complex via video link, and later left in a police car and came to the conclusion that she couldn’t find someone to bail her out.
Her next hearing is set to be held on 25 October.
Recap on incident
The Police are aware of online posts showing police officers engaging a Chinese woman. In response to media queries, the Police would like to state that on 10 October 2023 at about 2.35am, the Police received a call for assistance regarding a verbally abusive patient at Singapore General Hospital. A 29-year-old woman who was at the Accident and Emergency Department of the hospital to seek medical treatment for her injured foot was allegedly shouting and caused annoyance to the public. She also allegedly verbally abused a nurse prior to the arrival of police officers.
At about 3.15am, two investigation officers arrived to interview the woman. They introduced themselves as investigation officers from Central Police Division at the onset and engaged the woman in the presence of the uniformed police officers. During the engagement, the woman was uncooperative and refused to provide her statement. She had also allegedly used mandarin vulgarities against one of the investigation officers. After some time into the engagement, she started recording segments of her interaction with the investigation officers. While recording, she attempted to take one of the investigation officers’ security pass. The investigation officer firmly told her not to touch her pass. As the woman was awaiting medical treatment, a decision was made by the Police to allow her to complete her treatment first and follow up with her later. The woman later allegedly uploaded the video recordings.
This was not the only time the Police had been called in against the woman. On 3 October 2023, the Police received a call for assistance from the security team of a condominium located along Marina Boulevard. The woman was allegedly intoxicated, and the security team assisted in escorting her up to her unit. The woman then allegedly pushed one of the security officers on his shoulder and pulled his tie. She also purportedly used insulting and abusive words towards the security officer. Although the woman was compliant upon Police’s arrival, the Police nonetheless investigated her for the offences committed against the security officer.
In the course of investigations, the Police have also found reason to suspect that the woman could have contravened the conditions of her work permit. The Police will refer the matter to the Ministry of Manpower.
