Older couples arrive at the Singapore court on the 15th (local time)A British man in his 50s violated quarantine rules in Singapore and enjoyed secret affairs with his fiancée, and was on the verge of being put off guard.
According to BBC broadcast on the 15th (local time), British age Skea, 52, sneaked out of the room of the Ritz-Carlton Millenia Hotel in Singapore, a quarantine lodge last September, and took the emergency stairs, a fiancée Ageosa Magesh Eyamalai, 39. I entered the room 3 times.
At the time, Skea entered the country to meet her fiancee in Singapore, but was in quarantine for a total of 14 days at the hotel according to the government’s quarantine guidelines.
After that, the two couples married and became a couple, but they were eventually prosecuted for violating the quarantine regulations at the time, and they were brought to a local court on that day.
The couple admitted guilty with an anxious expression as the prosecutors read the charges.
Singapore is the country that has the most stringent response to quarantine violations. Violation of relevant guidelines such as forced quarantine after entry may lead to detention for up to six months.
In June of last year, British men were caught violating the blockade while wandering around bars, and a fine of 9,000 Singapore dollars (7.4 million won) and a job ban were imposed.
However, the prosecutors suspected that they felt sorry for the couple, but only sought four weeks of detention and a fine of 750 Singapore dollars (620,000 won) for Skea for violating quarantine rules and not wearing a mask.
In response, the lawyers of the Skea couple appealed to the court to reduce the period of detention to one week, saying, “Because they have been away for a long time, they have been blinded by love.”
