IT was a 15-minute nap on a park bench. And it cost him $200 - equivalent to a comfortable night's stay in a three-star hotel complete with a soft bed and fluffy pillows.

HOW HE GOT INTO TROUBLE: Mr Kassim showing how he dozed off at Sun Plaza Park. TNP PICTURES: KUA CHEE SIONG, JONATHAN CHOO
He had dozed off on a Sun Plaza Park bench while taking shelter from the rain.

For doing so, the 62-year-old private bus driver, who wanted to be known only as Mr Kassim, was fined $200 by the National Parks Board (NParks).

The agency said Mr Kassim had misused the park facility by sleeping on the bench .....

reyes SG

that is abuse of power by twisting the words in the SOP.

netx time if you throw too much rubbish into the bins, they also charge you abuse of Nparks facilities.

This is a joke. It's just an innocent nap on a park bench.

sgdiehard SG

Does National Park Board have the authority to issue summon? What is "misuse"?

$200 is damn hefty.

I would fight it out.

reyes SG

this will answer the previous TS saying the benefits of draconian laws.

it sucks to the roots!!

heil hitler!!

xiiaostarry SG

Huh? Tio fined $200 just for dozing off on a bench??

Eh..What about those elderies who slept on benches in those mini-parks ard HDB areas? Or @ void decks?

Will the town council fine them?

Good income leh =.=''' $200 just for slping on PUBLIC benches..And, where does the $$ comes from for constructing these benches??

From taxpayers aka us right?

And, we get fined for sleeping on benches paid by us =.=

GG! *pouts*

The government seriously doing something to eradicate poverty.

By penalising them with fines and throwing them in jail.

In the future, all homeless will need to sleep on the floor instead of park benches.

I can't agree more. STOMPers are a nuisance to society, really. They're like the free Singapore scouts who go around poking into the affairs of others. Look at what they got the poor man into?

He was just tired, that's all. No need to ensure the whole world to know. This is what I'd call making a mountain out of a molehill. So next time, when I like the sun in Sentosa and 'doze off' on one of the benches, they're gonna sue me lar? This is just plain stupid.

Fancy NParks bullying an aged uncle. Shame on them.

maurizio13 SG

In the past, I used to cycle to East Coat Park in the early hours of the morning and taking a nap on the bench because it was extremely breezy. I guess that's out of the question now.

Advante_101 SG
