Man in spitting incident video charged, remanded for psychiatric evaluation



SINGAPORE: The man who was caught on video spitting repeatedly at a woman at a bus interchange was charged in court on Friday.

47-year-old Juraimi Kamaludin faces four charges.

He is accused of committing a public nuisance with his aggressive behaviour at Woodlands Bus Interchange on Tuesday at about 9.30pm.

Juraimi is also accused of spitting in the face of two women - 41-year-old Teoh Lay Peng and 34-year-old Lee Kuan Eng - at the same place that same night.

He faces a fourth charge of behaving in a disorderly manner in public in September this year, at about 8am at a void deck at Bukit Batok Street 21.

If convicted of the disorderly behaviour offence, Juraimi could be jailed up to a month and fined S$1,000.

For using criminal force by spitting, he is looking at a maximum of three months' jail and a S$1,500 fine for each count.

For the maximum penalty for committing a public nuisance by behaving aggressively, Juraimi can be fined up to S$1,000.

The district judge has ordered him to be remanded at the Institute of Mental Health for psychiatric evaluation.

His case will be mentioned again on 8 November.

The video of the spitting incident went viral days ago.
