A person who made abusive and vulgar remarks towards a Land Transport Authority (LTA) officer has been fined $8,000.

LTA said in a social media post on Monday (Sept 28) that the person was an appellant, someone who had filed an appeal to challenge a court decision.

The person made abusive and vulgar remarks while corresponding with the LTA officer via email.

LTA then took action against the person by lodging a police report.

The person was then convicted under the Protection from Harassment Act 2014 and fined $8,000.

"We do not tolerate abuse towards our officers," LTA wrote.

"Those who threaten and abuse our officers face the full force of the law."

AsiaOne has contacted LTA for more information.
