SINGAPORE: Television personality Quan Yi Fong was
charged in court on Wednesday with two counts of mischief and one
count of using criminal force on a taxi driver.
The 37-year-old host allegedly damaged a fare meter and a receipt
printer of a ComfortDelGro taxi belonging to 52-year-old Chan Swee
Kong.
The incident took place along Upper East Coast Road at around
8.40am on 26 June 2010.
It's believed Quan pushed the cabby's chest and attempted to kick
him.
She is also said to have kicked the right rear passenger door of
the taxi.
Quan, who's represented by lawyer, Subhas Anandan came dressed in a
light grey top and blue jeans.
She looked calm and smiled at reporters as she made her way to the
courtroom.
The pre-trial conference for her case will be held on 29
June.
If convicted of mischief, for each charge, Quan could be jailed up
to a year, fined, or both.
And if found guilty of using criminal force on Mr Chan, she could
be jailed up to three months, fined S$1,500 or both.
In 1996, Chuan was fined S$1,000 for getting into a fight with a
bowling alley attendant.
