The man who was filmed spitting repeatedly at a woman at a bus interchange earlier this week, in a video that went viral online, was today (Oct 25) charged in court and remanded for psychiatric evaluation.

Juraimi Kamaludin, 47, faces four charges.
  1. He is accused of being a public nuisance with his aggressive behaviour at Woodlands Bus Interchange in an argument over alleged queue-cutting at about 9.30pm on Oct 22. 
  2. He is accused of spitting in the face of 41-year-old Teoh Lay Peng.
  3. He is also accused of spitting in the face of 34-year-old Lee Kuan Eng.
  4. A fourth charge stems from Juraimi’s behaving in a disorderly manner in public in September, at about 8am at a void deck at Bukit Batok Street 21.


  • If convicted of the disorderly behaviour offence, Juraimi could be jailed up to a month and fined S$1,000. 
  • For using criminal force by spitting, he’s looking at a maximum of three months’ jail and S$1,500 in fine for each count. 
  • The maximum penalty for being a public nuisance by behaving aggressively is a fine of up to S$1,000.
The district judge has ordered him to be remanded at the Institute of Mental Health for psychiatric evaluation. His case will be mentioned again on Nov 8.
