Singapore jails South Korean flight attendant who filmed colleague in hotel room toilet
An airline chief cabin attendant who placed a camera to record his female subordinate in her hotel room toilet in Singapore was handed four weeks' jail on Wednesday. Advertisement The 37-year-old South Korean man was the supervisor of the victim, who was a cabin attendant working for the same airline. The man pleaded guilty to one count of voyeurism. All details that could lead to the victim's identification, including the name of the airline, cannot be revealed due to a court-imposed gag order. The accused and the victim were part of the cabin crew on duty on a flight to Singapore, which landed in the city state in the early hours of April 27, 2025. They were given accommodation at a hotel in East Coast. Advertisement Upon reaching her room, the victim checked the toilet and found nothing amiss.

Hong Kong social worker Jackie Chen loses licence for 5 years over rioting conviction
Jackie Chen has been stripped of her social worker licence for five years after being convicted and jailed earlier this year for rioting during the 2019 protests. Chen, 48, was deregistered by the Social Workers Registration Board on Tuesday, after the regulator concluded that she 'had not shown remorse' in her statement when seeking a renewal of her licence, according to local media reports. Her licence, which expired in February, was suspended for five years with immediate effect. Herman Hui, chair of the registration board, said the licencing body could not comment on whether the court's ruling was right or wrong. If an individual was convicted, then he or she was guilty, he said. 'Certainly, if she does appeal and her conviction is overturned, we will review the matter again — it would be as if she were not guilty, and it would no longer affect her. But for now, in our consideration, we must treat the court's judgment as correct,' Hui said. On Wednesday, the licencing board's website still showed Chen's registration as 'renewal application being deliberated.' Under the Social Workers Registration Ordinance, the regulatory body may remove the name of a social worker from the register if they have been convicted in the city or elsewhere of an offence that 'may bring the profession of social worker into disrepute,' and is punishable with imprisonment. Chen was jailed for three years and nine months in April, after she was found guilty of taking part in a riot in Wan Chai on August 31, 2019. Frequently seen on the frontlines of the 2019 unrest, Chen was said to have made 'fictitious' allegations about police when she spoke through the loudhailer during the protest. She was heard telling police not to carry out a 'big chase and killing' during the demonstration, which the judge found to be 'clearly' untrue. The social worker was initially cleared of rioting midway through her first trial in September 2020, but the Department of Justice successfully appealed the acquittal. She pleaded not guilty when she faced a retrial in December 2024. She filed an appeal against her conviction and sentence last month. Protests erupted in June 2019 over a since-axed extradition bill. They escalated into sometimes violent displays of dissent against police behaviour, amid calls for democracy and anger over Beijing's encroachment. Demonstrators demanded an independent probe into police conduct, amnesty for those arrested and a halt to the characterisation of protests as 'riots.'

Ong Beng Seng, Singapore F1 tycoon, to plead guilty in Iswaran case
Property tycoon Ong Beng Seng, who faces two charges in relation to former transport minister S Iswaran's case, is set to plead guilty in court on July 3. Advertisement This was after a pre-trial conference for Ong's case took place on Tuesday. Court records did not state if he would be pleading guilty to both charges or one charge, and if so, which one. His bail, which is set at S$800,000 (US$620,000), was extended. Ong, 79, has been undergoing chemotherapy for bone marrow cancer. He previously obtained permission to travel abroad for medical-related purposes. He was originally set to plead guilty on April 2, but this was rescheduled after he asked for time to obtain more detailed medical reports from his doctors. Advertisement Two people close to Ong previously confirmed his condition to CNA Digital, with one saying he has multiple myeloma.
