因肚子饿在隔离结束前半小时出门 男子被罚款1500元

男子因肚子饿在居家隔离结束前半小时外出,享用印度煎饼,被罚款1500元。 据报道指出,该名男子为22岁的戴俊贤(译音,Tay Chun Hsien),于保险公司当财务顾问,面临触犯传染病法令控状。 他在3月19日至22日中午12时被下令必须呆在居住地内进行隔离,然而在3月22日上午11点30分左右,被告便离开了住所,到了邻里的商场内吃印度煎饼。 在过了十分钟后,策安保安机构(Certis CISCO)向他视频电话,确认他是否在家,却发现他已出门。 据被告解释,他之所以会离开时因为他觉得肚子非常饿,所以出门吃饭,在接获通知后,他也立即回家。 而律师也指出,被告是将该结束时间弄错,误认为是前日凌晨12点,加上被告长期服用抑郁症的药物,副作用所导致焦虑和睡眠问题,才会发生错误认知。 被告认罪后,控方指他罪责低,促请法官判罚款1500元。法官接受控方建议。
