SINGAPORE : The trial against former Netball Singapore
president Ivy Singh-Lim resumed in court on Wednesday.
Her 4-hectare farm, Bollywood Veggies, located at 100 Neo
Tiew Road in Kranji, is facing two charges of failing to appoint an
engineer to run safety checks on its buildings, despite three
reminders.
Her lawyer, Senior Counsel Engelin Teh, is arguing for the
charges to be dropped, claiming the Building and Construction
Authority (BCA) was singling Bollywood Veggies out for prosecution
while other farms there were illegally operating and occupying
their premises without the proper permits.
But District Judge Jasbendar Kaur on Wednesday ruled that
Ms Teh's claim is not something for the district court to
decide.
She said any claims of authorities abusing their power or
contravening other people's constitution rights can only be argued
before the High Court in a Judicial Review.
On the fourth day of the trial, Miss Teh challenged a BCA senior
executive engineer that the notices the BCA had issued to Bollywood
Veggies asking for compliance with the safety checks were
invalid.
The hearing continues on Thursday.
