Commuter seen trying to pull open MRT doors to plead guilty to charges

SINGAPORE: A district court heard on Thursday ( Jan 4 ) that a commuter who was observed repeatedly attempting to open train doors intends to plead guilty.

The scenario of 47-year-old Singaporean Vanessa Wang Zi Qi, who is listed as a man in demand sheets, was heard once more on Thursday night.

Wang is accused of trying to draw open the doors at Braddell, Ang Mo Kio, and Yio Chu Kang MRT facilities in November and December, as well as kicking a man in the foot at the depot. Wang also faces four costs.

Wang responded through his attorney Mr. Jared Lee that he would be entering a guilty plea when asked to provide an inkling of his plea. Wang was scheduled to enter a guilty plea by the court on Friday.

An offender who is found guilty of public nuisance may spend up to three months in prison, receive a fine of S$ 2, 000 ( US$ 1, 500 ), or both.

A three-year prison sentence, a fine of up to S$ 5,000, or both are the penalties for intentionally hurting someone.
