He called the police to report falsely that “four suspicious Chinese” were sniffing drugs at his HDB block. When a police car arrived at the block, he threw eggs from the seventh floor of his flat that landed on the car.

In a separate incident, Davin Lian Ke Xiang, 20, abandoned his pet Shih Tzu and later reclaimed the dog from an Agri-food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) officer by lying that someone else had taken it.

On Thursday (5 April), Lian, who is unemployed, pleaded guilty to five charges. He was remanded to assess his suitability for probation and reformative training.

His charges include dog abandonment, owning a dog without a license, committing mischief, calling the police hotline with the intent to annoy and giving a public servant false information.

Three other counts including breaching a probation order, which he received from an earlier conviction of cheating, will be considered for sentencing.

On 11 October last year, Lian called “999” at 6am to report on four “suspicious Chinese” supposedly sniffing drugs at a flat in Panjang Ring Road.

Police officer Siti Nurshalina Rosly was dispatched to investigate the call. Siti reached the location and parked her police car. As she was exiting the car, two eggs that were thrown from height landed on the bonnet and on the left front passenger door.

Siti investigated the police report but did not find any suspicious activity. She later returned to her car when another egg landed on the boot.

Investigations found that Lian threw the eggs as he felt stressed.

Lian called “999” again 12 days after the incident to report three Chinese boys who were believed to be taking drugs at the same flat. Police officers dispatched to the scene found the claim to be false.

Separately, Lian adopted a female Shih Tzu, named it Miko, and brought it to his flat in Senja Road on 6 April last year. However, his parents objected to him keeping a dog.

Half an hour after bringing Miko home, Lian left it at the pump room of his void deck. He later found out that Miko was gone.

Miko was rescued by an AVA contractor and Lian went to AVA to claim the dog on 19 April. He lied to an AVA officer that someone had taken Miko while he was inside a toilet and the dog was tied to a bar outside it.

However, 10 days after claiming Miko, Lian called AVA to report that the dog was missing. Lian later admitted to an AVA officer that he had abandoned Miko at the pump room previously on 6 April. Miko has not been found to this date.

Lian, who was unrepresented, told the court that he was “not a troublemaker”. His case will be heard again on 12 April.

For abandoning his dog, Lian can be jailed up to 12 months and/or fined a maximum $10,000. For committing mischief, he can be jailed up to a year and/or fined. For making a call to an emergency telephone number with intent to annoy, he can be jailed up to a year and/or fined $5,000.
