SINGAPORE : Former president of Netball Singapore, Ivy Singh-Lim, appeared in court on Monday to face charges relating to her farm, Bollywood Veggies.
She is accused of failing to have her farm in Kranji inspected,
and failing to engage a professional engineer to conduct the inspection.
The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) had first sent a notice to
Mrs Singh-Lim's farm in April 2008.
It informed her of the need to check the building, but she failed to do
so even with the deadline extended five times.
Her lawyer has asked for more time as she had just taken on the case.
The case has been scheduled for a pre-trial conference on Wednesday.
If convicted, Mrs Singh-Lim faces a fine of up to S$40,000 or a jail
term of up to one year, or both.
