The others had travelled there from other places, including Jalan Bukit Merah, Telok Blangah Crescent and Bukit Batok West Avenue 8.

Intend to plead guilty

All 10 offenders intend to plead guilty to their charges, reported ST, and will be back in court next month.

For each charge under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act, first-time offenders may face a jail term of up to six months and a fine of up to S$10,000.

Repeat offenders may be jailed for up to a year and fined up to S$20,000.

A total of 13 people gathered at the fitness corner

In a police statement on July 21, it was revealed that they had gathered at the fitness corner at around 12:50am on June 28.

After receiving a noise pollution complaint, police found that a total of 13 people had gathered at the location, with portable tables and chairs being set up.

Bottles of liquor were also found.

Of the remaining three individuals who were not charged, a 14-year-old male was administered a 12-month conditional warning for violating restrictions on leaving his place of residence without a valid reason and for violating the prohibition on social gatherings.

The other two will be separately dealt with for breaching the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020, as they are also currently being investigated for other unrelated offences.
