[VIDEO] ‘Badge’ woman shows up to court maskless, currently facing further investigation

Remember the Singaporean woman who refused to wear a mask and accused a Safe Distancing Ambassador (SDA) of harassing her?

ICYMI, read our article about it here:

Today (May 24), the 53-year-old woman, Phoon Chiu Yoke, showed up at the Singapore State Courts maskless and didn’t put one on until she was requested to do so by a security guard.

She was meant to face trial over a previous charge of failing to wear a mask last May at the Newton Hawker Centre during the Circuit Breaker (CB) period.

However, the trial was adjourned pending further investigation into additional alleged offenses.

In a video published by TODAYonline, she was seen wearing a pair of shades and a blue disposable mask outside the courtroom.

Upon encountering the press photographers, she took off her mask and flashed them a smile.
