A couple, who dirtied their neighbour’s car after being annoyed by its headlights shining into their flat, were on Monday fined a total of S$3,000.

Lau Kin Kee and her husband Ng Choon Meng, both 40, admitted to throwing tissue paper soaked in dark soya sauce onto Koh Jun Liang’s vehicle.

Lau had an additional charge of throwing a packet of chilli sauce on the vehicle.

The offences took place in late March this year at the multi-storey carpark in Punggol Central.

The court heard on Monday in mitigation that the couple is expecting their first child and the baby is due end of the year.

In submissions, the prosecution said the couple’s behaviour was anti-social and unneighbourly.

Lau was fined S$2,000 and Ng was fined S$1,000.

They each could have been jailed up to a year and fined.
