In 2017, Han Hui Hui was 25 years old when the Singapore’s government, through the Attorney-General's Chambers, issued her a letter of demand for contempt of court.
She was made to remove 14 seconds of her YouTube video, edit three of her Facebook postings and posted a total of 18 links on her social media accounts.
Otherwise, she would potentially face 18 years’ jail and SGD$600,000 fine.

In 2016, Han Hui Hui was disqualified from Singapore’s general election as Singapore’s judge Chay Yuen Fatt fined her a total of SGD$3,100 over the #ReturnOurCPF event held on 27 Sep 2014.
According to judge Chay Yuen Fatt, Han Hui Hui is the organiser of the #ReturnOurCPF movement as she “rallied her Facebook readers to come to the CPF event”.
In addition, judge Chay Yuen Fatt said Han Hui Hui “made vitriolic speeches to denounce the government and various government policies”.

In 2015, Han Hui Hui was charged for public nuisance and illegal assembly when organising an event with regards to Singapore’s pension fund.
Han Hui Hui was 23 years old when the Singapore government used 4 deputy public prosecutors to charge her and her supporters in court, they were without any legal representation.
Prior to that, she and her team have been holding events on Singapore’s public transport, Singapore’s public housing, Singapore’s public healthcare and the crowd size was increasing.

In 2014, Han Hui Hui and her supporters were harassed by Singapore’s police with very late night visits to their homes and long interviews without any meal in the police station.
Han Hui Hui underwent a total of 8 hours at the police station from 2pm till 8pm for interrogation by the police.
She was denied of legal assistance and had her paper notebook that was used to take down notes being seized from her.

In 2013, a statutory board under Singapore’s ministry of education threatened to sue Han Hui Hui for defamation.
Han Hui Hui was 21 years old when she received the letter of demand that wanted to silence her freedom of speech.
She was raising questions with regards to Singapore’s education system and the case eventually did not proceed - she had intended to go to the high court to raise a constitutional challenge as to whether a government agency can sue a citizen for defamation.
