Overview
- The district court, which approved the trip Wednesday, will allow Didier Gaspard Owen Maximilien to travel to Manila from May 2 to 25 for a required school field experience.
- Under the order, he must stay reachable by the investigating officer, surrender his passport within 24 hours of returning, post an additional S$5,000 bond, and have a school representative act as his bailor.
- His next court mention was moved to May 29, as he remains charged with mischief and public nuisance over a March 12 incident at an iJooz orange‑juice machine.
- The charges stem from a video he allegedly filmed of himself licking a straw and putting it back in the dispenser, which circulated on Instagram and drew wide public disgust.
- iJooz said it replaced all 500 straws in that machine, launched sanitation checks, and filed a police report, reflecting Singapore’s strict approach to public hygiene and order.
