A man has been charged after allegedly sailing a yacht into Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) live-firing zone on Southern Islands — not once, but twice.
Quek Wee Teck, 47, was charged with two counts of contravening the Military Manoeuvers (Firing Ground) Rules after he entered the firing ground in December last year and July this year.
According to charge sheets seen by AsiaOne, he allegedly entered the firing ground unauthorised, sailing his Singapore-registered pleasure craft, Artemis, 1 on Dec 19, 2025 just before 3pm.
The Singaporean then allegedly did so again on July 10, 2026, between 4.30pm and after 5pm.
The Military Manoeuvers (Firing Ground) Rules indicate that no unauthorised persons are allowed at any time to enter or remain within any firing ground.
If found guilty, Quek faces a fine of up to $2,000 and jail for up to six months.
He told the court on Wednesday (Oct 28) that he intends to plead guilty and that he will not be engaging a counsel, CNA reported.
According to Quek's LinkedIn page, he is the chief executive officer of Hydrogen Era Marine, a yacht management and maintenance firm.
He is also the managing director of yacht charter company Wanderlust Adventures and a yacht hobbyist.
Quek, also known as Captain Q on Hydrogen Era Marine's website, is stated to be a "distinguished leader in the maritime industry" and the president of the Association of Boat Charter Singapore.
The website also states that he is a founding member of Marine Stewards Singapore, an organisation dedicated to promoting marine sustainability.
He is set to plead guilty in December, CNA reported.

一名男子被控两次驾驶游艇驶入新加坡武装部队（SAF）南部岛屿的实弹射击区。
47岁的郭伟德（Quek Wee Teck）因分别于去年12月和今年7月进入射击场，被控两项违反《军事演习（射击场）规则》的罪名。
据 AsiaOne 看到的起诉书显示，他涉嫌于 2025 年 12 月 19 日下午 3 点前，驾驶其在新加坡注册的游艇 Artemis 1 号未经授权进入射击场。
据称，这名新加坡人随后于 2026 年 7 月 10 日下午 4 点 30 分至 5 点之后再次实施了同样的行为。
《军事演习（射击场）规则》规定，任何未经授权的人员在任何时候都不得进入或停留在任何射击场内。
如果罪名成立，郭某将面临最高 2000 美元的罚款和最高六个月的监禁。
据CNA报道，他于周三（10月28日）向法庭表示，他打算认罪，并且不会聘请律师。
根据 Quek 的 LinkedIn 页面显示，他是 Hydrogen Era Marine（一家游艇管理和维护公司）的首席执行官。
他同时也是游艇租赁公司 Wanderlust Adventures 的总经理，并且是一位游艇爱好者。
Quek，在 Hydrogen Era Marine 的网站上也被称为 Captain Q，被誉为“海事行业的杰出领导者”和新加坡船舶租赁协会主席。
该网站还称，他是新加坡海洋守护者协会的创始成员，该协会致力于促进海洋可持续发展。
据中央社报道，他将于12月认罪。
