Local veteran actor Terence Cao was fined $3,500 today (May 25) for having 12 guests in his home for a party last October, despite phase two regulations only allowing up to five guests at any one time.
While that wraps up the incident of local celebs flouting coronavirus regulations, another actor's court case is still pending.
Shane Pow, 29, has been charged with drink driving and if convicted, it would be his second offence after his first conviction on July 30, 2014. He will appear in court again on June 3.
Mediacorp and its talent management arm The Celebrity Agency (TCA) has cut ties with him, saying they were made aware of his wrongdoing only after he appeared in court in April. Shane had filmed 30 episodes of the upcoming 130-episode Channel 8 drama The Heartland Hero, and following his dismissal, actor James Seah took his role for the remaining 100 episodes.
