A WOMAN who failed to report her change her address within 28
days was fined $500 on Thursday.
Ooi Siew Lang, 48, who is self-employed, had admitted to the
offence between August 2009 and January 2010 when she moved from
Yishun Ring Road to Block 840 Yishun Street 81.
The court heard that as a result of her failure to update her
address, the new owner of the flat found debtor writings on the
wall at the 11th level lift lobby on April 28 2010. A police report
was made.
The complainant filed another report two months later in June
2010 when she found black paint splashed on the door of her flat
and graffiti nearby.
Ooi admitted that she had been borrowing money from unlicensed
moneylenders since 2005. She had also stood as guarantor for about
$4,000 borrowed by her younger siblings.
She did not report her change of address until Jan 30 2010,
after she had moved into a flat at Block 868 along Yishun Street
81.
