<p>An Indian-origin man was fined SGD7,000 for having hurled vulgarities at a security officer, police officers, and a doctor who was treating him at a hospital.</p>
<p>Mohanarajan Mohan, 30, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to two charges under the Protection from Harassment Act, as reported by The Straits Times.</p>
<p>State Prosecuting Officer A Majeed Yosuff said that on April 14, Mohanarajan was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital in an unconscious state.</p>
<p>As he was being examined by a doctor at the hospitals accident and emergency (A&amp;E) department, he woke up.</p>
<p>The prosecutor said Mohanarajan, who was drunk, insisted on being discharged and began verbally abusing the doctor and the staff.</p>
<p>When an auxiliary police officer arrived and tried to calm him down, Mohanarajan shouted vulgarities at him too.</p>
<p>As Mohanarajan was escorted out of the A&amp;E department, he continued yelling at the auxiliary police officer.</p>
<p>Outside, two police officers who were called to the scene approached Mohanarajan to speak to him.</p>
<p>However, he shouted at one of the officers and said: "By law, I am not inside the hospital, right? Can you guys leave me alone?"</p>
<p>When more police officers arrived, he allegedly verbally abused them too and was subsequently arrested.</p>
<p>While in the police car, he continued to verbally abuse the officers, and kicked the interior of the vehicle repeatedly despite being told not to, said the prosecutor.</p>
<p>In mitigation, Mohanarajan, who was unrepresented, said he was going through a divorce at the time of his offences, and was stressed and depressed.</p>
<p>"I am very remorseful for what I did, and I do not want to repeat these offences because I respect Singapore's law and regulations," The Straits Times quoted him as pleading.</p>
<p>He sought leniency from the judge, adding, he is attending counselling sessions as well as pursuing a diploma.</p>
<p>In sentencing, District Judge Sandra Looi told Mohanarajan: "I am heartened to hear that you are pursuing education and are determined to never be in a similar state as you are in today again."</p>
<p>She added: "We seek your and our community's understanding that our public service officers who serve our society deserve our utmost respect. That I am sure we all will agree."</p><p>
