6 charged over public assemblies including Phua Chu Kang actors Lim Kay Siu and Neo Swee Lin
Five of them were charged with taking part in a public assembly outside the State Courts, a prohibited area, on Feb 3, 2025.
Six individuals, including journalist Kirsten Han and actors Lim Kay Siu and Neo Swee Lin from the local sitcom Phua Chu Kang, were charged on September 28, 2025, for alleged offences relating to public assemblies. Annamalai Kokila Parvathi, Ten Leu Jiun Jeanne-Marie, and Rocky Howe were also among those charged. Lim Kay Siu and Neo Swee Lin are married and previously starred in Phua Chu Kang, with Neo playing the mother of the titular contractor and Lim playing Frankie Foo.
The pair have since performed music together and Lim also starred as monk Gyatso in Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender. Two of the charged individuals had prior warnings and were charged again, while two others were frequently involved in such cases despite being under investigation, according to the police. A further seven people were charged the previous month for similar offenses, with activist Jolovan Wham accused of organizing an assembly outside the State Courts to promote the abolition of capital punishment in Singapore.
