SINGAPORE: A woman who launched a private prosecution against another woman has failed in her suit, with the court acquitting the defendant of all charges and finding the prosecution both"frivolous and vexatious" and part of a personal vendetta.
Ms Huang also charged that Ms Juan had spat into Ms Huang's food at Far East Plaza, snatched another person's handphone and thrown it to the ground and hit Ms Huang's phone in Ms Huang's hand.The trial was heard in a Magistrate's Court between October 2021 and August 2022 and the judge acquitted Ms Juan of all five charges.These include that it was Ms Huang who uttered insulting words about Ms Juan's nose, face and brain first before Ms Juan retaliated.
Ms Huang faces a pending charge under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act for selling bicycles at a Far East Plaza shop in May 2021 without a valid work pass. Ms Juan's lawyers argued that the prosecution was frivolous or vexatious, showing malice and a lack of good faith.In response, Ms Huang said her prosecution was not frivolous or vexatious, because the public prosecutor had given her permission to proceed.
In a judgment published on Friday , District Judge Lee Li Choon said that Ms Huang bore"bitter enmity" against Ms Juan and had made unnecessary comments about Ms Juan's character in personal attacks against her. She found that Ms Juan's defence had succeeded in proving"the serious and grave assertion that the prosecution is frivolous and/or vexatious".
