.." A SINGAPORE Airlines pilot was charged on Tuesday with making four prank calls to three fastfood outlets for food to be delivered to a colleague.
Looi Kang San, 53, who has been suspended from duty, is said to have called twice on Nov 11 last year to Canadian Pizza's delivery hotline at 6.30pm and McDonald's hotline at 6.58pm - for food to be delivered to Mr Steven Cameron Gillis, 57.
He is also accused of making similar calls the next day at 9.50pm to Kentucky Fried Chicken's hotline and 10.21pm to Canadian Pizza for food to be delivered to Mr Gillis's house.
All the calls were allegedly made from a flat at Lorong Chuan.
Looi was supposed to have been charged last week but fell ill.
His lawyer, Mr Irving Choh, tendered a medical report on his client to supplement the medical certificate given a week ago.
Looi is out on $8,000 bail.
A pre-trial conference will be held on Oct 16.
If convicted under the Telecommunications Act, he can be fined up to $10,000 or jailed for up to three years, or both, on each charge.
