Trio charged with faking accident
By Elena Chong, Court Correspondent
THREE men have been charged with faking a traffic accident to cheat a motorist.

Muhammad Rafee Abdullah, 32, Mohamad Iswadi Ismail, 23, both unemployed, and Pang Cheng Jea, 39, an odd-job worker, are accused of cheating contractor Beh Chin Hock of $50 at a carpark in Bedok North on March 17.

Mr Beh was allegedly deceived into believing that one of the rear tyres of his car had accidentally run over Pang's foot as he was driving out of the carpark.

Pang also faced a separate charge on Wednesday of stealing a $200 mobile phone from Mr Goh Seng Hai on a bus along Punggol Central on March 20.

Separately, Rafee was also charged with four counts of having uncensored and obscene VCDs and films under the Films Act.

Iswadi and Pang were released on $10,000 bail each, but Rafee was remanded as he allegedly committed the offence while on court bail.

All three will be back in court again on April 2.
