A 26-year-old food delivery rider was fined S$5,000 on 18 March 2025 after damaging a car’s side mirror at a private property in Serangoon.
The food delivery rider, Koh Wen Hao, pleaded guilty to one count of trespass and one count of mischief, reported CNA.
The incident stemmed from a near-collision between Koh and a 64-year-old driver on 16 Nov 2024.

Serangoon Road Incident Leads to Property Trespass
Koh was cycling along Grace Walk in Serangoon when a 64-year-old man drove onto the same road. The cyclist had to take evasive action to avoid colliding with the car.
Angered by what he perceived as dangerous driving, Koh followed the driver to Verdana Villas, a private cluster housing development.
At around 8:15 pm, Koh falsely told a security guard he was delivering food to a unit on the property to gain entry. He then headed to the covered car park where the driver had parked.
Upon locating the vehicle, Koh yanked, kicked, and punched the left side mirror multiple times. The entire incident was captured by a CCTV camera.
The car owner filed a police report the following day on 17 Nov 2024, which led to Koh’s arrest.
S$1,170 Damage and Court Mitigation
The damaged mirror cost approximately S$1,170 to repair. Court records show that Koh has since made full restitution to the car owner.
During mitigation, Koh told the court his actions stemmed from “built-up” frustration from past encounters with “inconsiderate and reckless drivers”.
He claimed a collision could have resulted in him “lying in bed suffering” or worse, he “could have lost his life that night” if he hadn’t taken evasive action.

He told the judge that he knew there was no excuse for his actions, and he did feel remorse for “smashing someone’s mirror”.
For the mischief charge, Koh could have faced up to two years in jail, a fine, or both. The trespass charge carried a maximum penalty of three months’ imprisonment, a fine up to S$1,500, or both.
