NSF pleads guilty to shoving, verbal abuse of driving tester

[Ithunk]

SINGAPORE - A 22-year-old National Serviceman pleaded guilty in a district court yesterday to pushing and using vulgarities on a senior tester at a driving centre.

 

Eric Lim Guo Yong had gone to the Singapore Safety Driving Centre in Ang Mo Kio Street 62 on Nov 4 last year to take the basic theory test. But when he failed to produce his identity card or passport, senior tester Abdul Wahid Shariff stopped him. Lim had lost his military identity card and turned up with a temporary one.

 

Unhappy, Lim raised his voice and demanded to take the test. When Mr Abdul Wahid, 57, asked him to leave the room, Lim hurled vulgarities at him and shoved him three times - an act captured by closed- circuit cameras. Lim only left the premises when the tester's colleagues came to help.

 

For threatening, abusing or insulting a public servant, Lim can be jailed for up to a year or fined $5,000. For using criminal force on another person, he can be jailed up to three months and fined $1,500. The case will be mentioned again on March 5. Shaffiq Alkathib

the temporary ID got no photo right?

the tester should at least give the NSF another test date. but knowing how precious leave and days off is to NSF, this is just bad luck.

 

been too long.. can NSF have passport? if not can use that

well... if it is temporary card then it should have been valid..... and i doubt very much the tester was polite too... they seem to think they are king of the world......

[tiffanydunk]

Mr Wahid was my tester, very good guy!

[Chilz]

wah!! so dramatic, wonder anyone in the room record down the incident. hehehe..

[Raygooh]

I tot temp ID should be valid rite? If not valid then what for need to issue temp ID. and I believe as the others bro point out . he must have been rather unpolite and I think he knows about the cctv camera operating in that room also. Some tester are only nice to Bu's in short skirt and show half ball only. hahahaha.....

[Fastjimmy]

when 2 rotten eggs collide, makes news! (if it's the same malay tester previously at ubi eunos, a high attitude guy vs NSF who should be thankful get day off & able to get outta camp again to sit next re-scheduled test than screaming about)

[Johnson28]

i think gg to his license liao

[Robo]

he can forget abt getting his licesnse liao

[Watwheels]

It's not an issue of validity but for verification purpose. Common practice if you produce any sort of temporary pass, ppl would ask for your ID to verify whether or not you are an imposter. Somemore the driver is taking test.

he sld not be given a licence. if he got his licence, he will sure be a road menace judging from the way he behaved when things dont get his way.

Agree. Kids nowadays...sigh

Thinking back when I just got my driving licence back in early 90s, I don't remember being honk at "angrily". The most is being shown the middle finger with window wind down.

me think invigilator and booking counter different people lah.

they not like army got CAH appointments one. do one thing mean only one thing, else how to have time for kopi breaks?

 

or maybe something pissed that NSF during the day, so got hot when prevented from taking test.

i think Wahid was my tester also....i dunno but its a malay guy....could be a diff one though...

[Little_prince]

hey... that's the guy that passed me!!!

 

i remember he F me upside down during the test but still passed me in the end...

[Dafansu]

temp card, no pic, dont think will be valid

[Introz]

temp card have no pictures therefore invalid

for 7times i take TP, 2bx2,2a,2 then retake back 2a,2,3 ( due to too generous, give back to government )

i always see they check on ic or passport... others not valid... i think for this case is 11B or passport..

got many times people try break the rule, like cheating << other people taking the test

and also people who forget to bring thier passport or ic << straight away ask to pack and "See u another day"

got see those who rebel... still see them taking tp same class after 2 years

[Xefera]

u guys have fantastic memories siah! Can still remember your tester

 

i can't even recall how mine looks like already, except that he is a malay chap too. one that doesn't smile at all
