Woman jailed for working with husband to harass debtors

They worked as a team: she scribbling the particulars of the debtors on a nearby wall while he splashed paint at the door.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Seraphina Fong told a district court that on Jul 31, 2010, the couple was recruited by Amin Sulaiman to work for a unlicensed moneylender. They received $50 for each act of harassment.

On 2nd Aug 2010 at about 1.10am, they were arrested carrying three cans of paint and indelible marker pens at Block 121 Toa Payoh. The duo had struck at a ninth-floor flat minutes earlier. Investigations also revealed that they were responsible for an earlier harassment offence just after midnight at a flat in McNair Road in Balestier.

Siti Rukaiyah Mohamed Ariff, 24, a housewife, was jailed seven months on Monday for harassing three households on behalf of a loan shark. Her husband, Muhammad Faizal Abu Bakar, 24, unemployed, received a similar jail term but with six strokes of the cane in April. Under Singapore law, women are not caned.
