2) Yesterday, another son was jailed 22 years and given 15 strokes of the cane for assaulting police officers, various drug offences, intentionally absconding to avoid being arrested on a warrant and leaving Singapore without using a passport.
3) The court also heard that yet another one of her sons was arrested on Jan 3, 2010, for driving under the influence of alcohol and using criminal force against a public servant.
4) The woman's troubles do not seem to be ending, as there is now a police report made against her after she allegedly hurled vulgarities at a reporter at the Subordinate Courts yesterday.
Just last month, Mrs Khan learnt that her son, Mr Adnan Ahmed Khan, 32, was believed to have drowned with his friend, Mr Muhammad Nurhidayat Roosly, 29, a freelance dancer.
Mr Muhammad Nurhidayat's body was found near Sentosa's Tanjong Beach on March 24, while Mr Adnan's was found the next day.
It is not clear how many children the woman has in all, but Berita Harian reported that Mr Adnan was the second of seven children.
Yesterday, Mrs Khan was in Court 18 of the Subordinate Courts to find out the fate of her son, Irfan Ahmed Khan Iqbal Ahmed Khan, 29.
He pleaded guilty to eight charges for offences including assaulting traffic police officers and being in possession of methamphetamine or "ice" for personal consumption.
The court heard that on Jan 3, 2010, Irfan had assaulted three police officers who were conducting a road block operation along Upper Circular Road.
Irfan's brother, Maqbool Ahmed Khan, 33, was driving a car at about 4.10am when he was stopped at the road block. He took a breathalyser test.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Terence Chua said that Maqbool failed the test and was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Senior Staff Sergeant (Senior Staff Sgt) Norhizam Ramli was leading Maqbool to a patrol car when Irfan rushed towards him.
Corporal (Cpl) Muhamad Faiz Idris tried to hold on to Irfan.
He was then pinned to the road by Cpl Muhamad Faiz and another officer, Sergeant (Sgt) Andrew Ho.
While on the ground, Irfan punched Cpl Muhamad Faiz on the nose, then kicked Sgt Ho on the knee.
And when Senior Staff Sgt Norhizam approached Irfan, he punched the officer on the chin and escaped.
Irfan was later arrested and released on a one-day conditional bail of $100,000 on June 6 last year so he could marry his pregnant fiancee.
But he failed to turn up in court the next day and was later smuggled into Johor Baru by an unknown man driving a lorry.
A warrant of arrest was issued against Irfan, who was subsequently arrested by Malaysian police on June 23 last year.
Last September, TNP reported that the court had ordered Irfan's family to forfeit $85,000 of the $100,000 bail.
The bulk of the bail money came from the sale of their mother's flat in December 2010, while the rest was sourced from family and friends.
Maqbool, who stood as the bailor, had told TNP: "It's the way the law works... but I'm happy we're able to get back some of the cash."
The woman's troubles are far from over.
After Irfan was sentenced, Berita Harian reporter Ervina Mohamed Jamil, 22, told The New Paper that she was standing outside the courtroom when Mrs Khan, who was in the gallery, confronted her.
"I had gone to Mr Adnan's funeral last week and she recognised me," she said.
"She came towards me and said 'You are the one who wrote a story about my son. Now you want to write about my son again'."
Miss Ervina said that Mrs Khan then wagged her finger at her and it allegedly hit her once near her left eye.
"I don't know if she did it on purpose or accidentally, but it was painful and I cried out." Miss Ervina said that she had to ask a nearby police officer for help and he intervened to calm things down.
She filed a police report against Mrs Khan at around 3.15pm yesterday.
Mrs Khan flew into a rage when TNP went to the family's home at Sembawang about an hour after the report was made.
When informed about the police report, she hollered: "I don't care. If the police want, they can come here and talk to me. Now, you better get lost."
