Hiphiphoray 6th Gear January 15, 2010 Share January 15, 2010 (edited) TODAY paper page 14........15th Jan 2010. Four Singaporeans were charged yesterday, with two of them fine and jailed for tampering with thier fuel gauges. The men, all in thier 30s, were the first to be charged this year for the offence and had been arrested within the span of one and a half hours on wednesday morning. At about 12.30am, Raymond Foo Yong Meng, 32, was caught at the Woodlands Checkpoint. His car fuel gauge indicated the tank was full but a close check showed the reading should have been at the one-quarter mark. It was believed that he used a remote control to adjust the gauge. Half an hour later at the same checkpoint, Muhammad Shaiful Ismail, 30, was caught with a tampered fuel gauge and the remote control device used for the deed. At about 2am, Benjamin Giam Kok Meng, 36, and Ang Kok Tong, 31, were arrested for similar offences. Muhammad Shaiful and Giam both pleased guilty to not having the minimum amount of fuel - a three-quarter tank full - when attempting to leave Singapore, as well as giving false information to officers. They were each fined $500 and jailed two weeks. Court proceedings are ongoing for the other two cases. Last year, Singapore Customs prosected 24 persons for tampering with fuel gauges, up from just four in 2008.

Silver_blade Turbocharged January 15, 2010 Share January 15, 2010 (edited) Aiyoh....what a way to start a new year....not worth it. Btw, I wonder why those who kenna pull aside didn't want to admit the offense straight away....which will probably save them the jail term.
