Charged with perverting justice

Charged with perverting justice: A YOUNG woman who beat the red lights and allegedly paid someone to take the rap on her behalf was charged on Tuesday with intentionally perverting the course of justice.

Evangeline Tay Su Ann, 21, a student, is accused of giving property agent Leung Man Kwan, 34, $1,000 in February 2008 in return for her to assume criminal liability for the traffic offence.

The money was said to have been given through ex-police officer Kelvin Choo Yew Beng, 38, whose case is pending.

Last month, Tay was fined a total of $1,900 and banned from driving for 12 months for various traffic offences along Lornie Road on Jan 22, 2008.

Tay, represented by Mr Lim Kia Tong, faces a jail term of up to seven years and fine on conviction. Leung is currently serving her three-month jail sentence.

Tay's pre-trial conference is scheduled for Feb 11.
