SINGAPORE: A 61-year old man and his 28-year-old son will be charged in court on Wednesday (May 11) for their suspected involvement in an incident involving a Bentley at Red Swastika School at the start of the year, reported CNA.

 

In a joint news release issued by the police and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Tuesday night, authorities said the police had received a report on Jan 11 at 11.40am on a case involving a car driver who was endangering the safety of a security guard at the school in Bedok North.

 

The car driver was arrested on the same day at about 3.35pm.

 

The older man will be charged with a rash act causing hurt, and for driving a vehicle without insurance coverage.

 

His son, the owner of the car, will be charged with altering the vehicle's licence plate number and allowing another person to use a vehicle without insurance coverage. 

 

In a video that was circulated widely following the alleged incident, a white car was seen being stopped from entering Red Swastika School. The driver inched forward several times, pushing against a man standing in front of it.

 

The police said on Jan 11 that a 62-year-old male security guard sustained minor injuries.

 

The offence of committing a rash act causing hurt carries a jail term of up to a year, a fine of up to S$5,000, or both.

 

Those found to have altered their vehicles’ licence plate number may face up to a year in jail, a fine up to S$5,000 or both. 

 

The offence of using or permitting the use of a vehicle without insurance carries a jail term of up to three months, a fine up to S$1,000, or both.

 

In addition, offenders will be disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence for a period of 12 months from the date of the conviction, said the police and LTA.

red swatica??seriously?school? seriously?

Do a bit of research, as most swastikas have nothing to do with Nazism or Adolf.  And been around for 7000 yrs.

 

"The Origins of the Swastika ...

The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika, which means “good fortune” or “well-being." The motif (a hooked cross) appears to have first been used in Eurasia, as early as 7000 years ago, perhaps representing the movement of the sun through the sky.

 

To this day, it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. It is a common sight on temples or houses in India or Indonesia. Swastikas also have an ancient history in Europe, appearing on artifacts from pre-Christian European cultures."
