SINGAPORE: A British man was jailed for two weeks yesterday for violating Singapore’s strict coronaviru­s rules by leaving his room at a luxury hotel while under quarantine to meet his fiancee. Nigel Skea was also fined S$1,000 for the breach, while local Agatha Maghesh Eyamalai — now his wife — was jailed for a week for helping him. The couple, who were married in November, had pleaded guilty. Their lawyer, Surinder Singh Dhillon, said they would not appeal the sentences as “they want to finish this matter, and he wants to go back home as soon as possible”.
