A 60 year old fruit seller was arrested for attacking and hurling vulgarities at three NEA officers on Monday. According to Police reports, the NEA officers were doing their routine checks along Arumugam Road in Ubi when they saw the suspect selling fruits without a valid licence. The man, who was not named, tried to run away, but was caught. It was at this point that the man became agitated. He first punched and headbutted the first NEA officer and spat at the second NEA officer. He also slammed his car door on the third NEA officer. Throughout the incident, the man was hurling vulgarities at the men.

61 year-old Tan Ah Lai was fined $25,000 after he pleaded guilty to 50 charges of selling food without a license between April and November this year, and 100 other charges take into consideration for sentencing last Monday.
