Son who allegedly killed mum, 79, taken to Sengkang crime scene

A man who allegedly damaged campaign materials belonging to PAP in Hougang Avenue 5 on Polling Day on May 3 has been charged with one count each of harassment, mischief and causing annoyance while drunk.

On July 4, Seng Guan Heng, 57, was also charged with two counts of using criminal force on another person.

According to court documents, the Singaporean was at an open space carpark near Block 328 around 11.20pm on May 3 when he allegedly caused annoyance to another person by shouting while drunk.

He also allegedly damaged the poles of two of PAP's flags and five of its posters worth around $200 in total.

Minutes later, Seng allegedly used his hands to push two men, both party volunteers, in the chest.

He was also said to have made an obscene gesture and hurled vulgarities at a group of PAP volunteers.

In court, Seng, who was unrepresented, said he intends to plead guilty.

He added that he plans to travel to Indonesia and Vietnam for work, but did not disclose details about his occupation.
