What's wrong with the cooked burger? -
The burger may not be well cooked.

i often buy satays, a packet or two of nasi brani from JB pasar malam stalls and take 170 back to singapore. Satays are much cheaper. The custom officer see and scan packets also never say anything.
by the law , can i bring these cooked packet food from jb to s'pore for personal consumptions?
Next time not sure whether can bring a few packets of the cha kway teow, rm$2.50 a pcaket. or snacks like the pork floss. -
A point of contention. The offence was for obstructing the immigration officers from executing their duty. She threw the geese onto the floor instead of into the officers' arms. Its rude. But how is that an obstruction to the execution of duty? The officers just had to bend down and pick them up...

erm.. maybe she reacted too badly
thats y -
Reacting badly is not an offence punishable with a fine unless it also amounted to an obstruction of the execution of public duties. I'm curious how throwing geese onto the floor = obstruction.Originally posted by WiNtEr'SkiLL:erm.. maybe she reacted too badly

Another curious thing is what she was charged with that allowed a fine of $3,000:-
"Obstructing public servant in discharge of his public functions.
186. Whoever voluntarily obstructs any public servant in the discharge of his public functions, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 3 months, or with fine which may extend to $500, or with both." -
Opps did not get to eat the 2 roast goose, now end up as the roast one instead !
-
She refused to hand the geese over and threw them on the floor instead.
she should throw them on the ICA officer instead. -
When you don't cooperate but raise hell with the customs, sure mati. -
she is the CEO of a pharmaceutical company in china.

I think she was prosecuted in court under 2 charges namely obstructing an authorised officer (in this case would be the ICA officers who is authorised to conduct such checks on behalf of AVA) from carrying out their official duties and importing the 2 geeses without an import permit. Think AVA proceeded on the first charge of obstruction and applied for the 2nd charge to be taken into consideration for sentencing purposes. In this case she had obstructed the ICA (Immigration & Checkpoints Authority - formerly known separately as Singapore Immigration & Registration and Customs & Excise Department -so now the officers are both Immigration cum Customs officers) officers when she refused to hand over the geese when asked to. When repeatedly informed and advised that she did not have an import permit to bring the cooked geese in and that she needed to hand them over for destruction, she still refuses to co-operate in handing the geese over and finally threw them on the floor. As such, she had committed offences under the Wholesome Meat and Fish Acts. Of coz, instead of charging under this Act, the authorities can also proceed under the Penal Code for obstructing a civil servant from carrying out his official duties but in this case, I believe AVA took the lead in the prosecution as she was also caught for importing the 2 geese without a permit from them thus it would made more sense for AVA to take over to deal with globally.
She is lucky that AVA only proceeded on 1 of the 2 charges and she got away with a fine. Under the Wholesome Meat and Fish Act, anyone who imported the geese without a permit faces a fined up to $50,000 or imprisonment up to 2 years or both. For the offence of obstructing an authorised officer, one can be fined up to $10,000 or faced imprisonment up to 12 months or both.
I totally support the ICA officers as being our country first line of defense, it is not an easy job especially when they face travellers who are unreasonable and want to challenge the authorities when they are doing their job. Not all customer are right although our boss might not agree with us especially when they are not the one who is facing the customers. Anyway we are also not sure that the geese is for one's own consumption and even if yes, isn't it possible that one will share it with one's family, relatives or friends? For those who are in the service line, I believe you will understand.
Just my views, please no bombard me.....

Next time a police officer comes along to check your IC.Originally posted by charlize:If she threw it on the floor, isn't it considered as handing over already?
I think the fine is more for causing a nuisance than for the geese.
You try throwing it on the floor.
Wait and see what happens to you. -
Think if she threw the geese at the ICA officers, she might face an additional charge of assulting an authorised officer / civil servant. Well, maybe increase the chance of getting into prison.
