Adjunct teacher who attacked son's 10-year-old bully jailed 7 weeks SINGAPORE — A man who attacked a 10-year-old boy for bullying his son was jailed seven weeks on Monday (29 April). Adjunct teacher Tan Chin Tai pleaded guilty at the State Courts to one count of voluntarily causing hurt. The 43-year-old, who also works at a tuition centre, had confronted the boy at his son’s school and shoved him against a wall, leaving the child with a small fracture on one of his ribs. Tan’s lawyer, Cory Wong, said that the boy had been bullying his client's son since early 2017 by using vulgarities and taunting him. The boy also threatened to hit other children who spoke to the client's son. ‘I can bully you’ Tan Chin Tai committed the offence while picking his son up from school at around 1.15pm on 7 July 2017. When he spotted the victim heading towards the school’s gate with a student care staff member, he approached the boy. Tan then grabbed the boy’s schoolbag and pushed the him towards a nearby rubbish shed. He then shoved the boy against a wall and scolded him. “Just because you are bigger in size, you can bully others,” Tan told the boy. “Since you can bully my son, I can bully you.” Following the incident, the boy experienced pain in his left chest and visited the hospital. He was found to have sustained a small fracture on one of his left ribs. He was discharged on the same day and given painkillers. Tan has since paid $229.50 in compensation to the boy. Bullying escalated after incident According to Wong, the bullying got to a point where the father considered switching his son to a different school. The accused had earlier reported the bullying to the school but this did not stop the bullying. “(The father) was instead told that the victim had anger management issues, and felt that his concerns were being brushed aside. “True enough, the school remained ineffective in doing anything to stop the bullying,” said Wong who is from Invictus Law. The victim’s bullying also escalated after the incident, with him calling the accused a “murderer” to his son’s face, the lawyer said, adding that the son had been ostracised by his schoolmates. The boy had also told the accused’s son, “Your father confirm go to jail (sic). My mother is going to sue until you bankrupt (sic).” Wong pointed out that the accused’s actions were not premeditated. Tan had simply wanted to “engage constructively and verbally with the victim”, however the victim had “very cockily ignored” him. “In the heat of the moment, and being a loving father who would staunchly protect his son’s interests, the above drove (Tan) to act out of character,” said the lawyer. In mitigation, Wong asked for fine of not more than $5,000 for his client. For voluntarily causing hurt, Tan could have been jailed up to two years and faced a possible fine of up to $5,000.

A 40-year-old man and eight other gang members attacked two men having dinner with their family members at a hawker centre last May for "talking too loudly". Soh Ying Kuan and his accomplices rained punches and kicks and even used empty beer bottles to hit the victims' heads and backs while shouting their gang's slogan. Although the injuries suffered by the two men were not serious, this did not save Soh from a long spell behind bars. In passing sentence, District Judge Low Wee Ping said that while the usual penalty for gang-related rioting with no grievous hurt to victims was two-and-a-half years' jail and six strokes of the cane, he was sentencing Soh to four years in jail and six strokes of the cane because of "the manner (Soh) had executed the violence". The judge pointed out that the victims were "innocent members of the public having dinner" and that the assault had left their family members "heavily traumatised".

I think he deserves to be whacked from the way he ask for it. If u read the story, he ask to be beated 3 times. In Johor Baloo where I drive on a daily basis, I have encountered cars which cut into my lane without signaling just next to me. And I dont honk cos its their driving style. About half of the vehicles on the road either dont have vaild road tax of the driver dont have licence. So please dont expect too much from Malaysian drivers. I even encounter a 20 year old ancient little car ( like those Mr Bean size ) literally zig zag along a highway in every small little space that he can cut.. no signal at all. If u live in JB like me, you encounter many exciting episodes on the road. Just Yesterday encountered one ah lian from behind me see me too handsome, drive to my right and later cut back into my lane without signal, leaving me with 1 cm allowance. I tailed her closely to Taman Sutera Utama wanting to drag her into my car to teach her a lesson. But too bad she met up with 3 burly old men which I have no confidence of beating so I drove away looking for my next target A SINGAPOREAN man's trip to Johor Bahru turned nasty barely minutes after crossing the causeway, as he was threatened and beaten with a metal pole by a road bully. The 34-year-old, known only as Mr Fan, said the altercation on Sunday afternoon left him with bruises to his waist, arm and wrist, Chinese paper Shin Min Daily News reported. Road rage in Johor Click on thumbnail to view. Story continues after photos. (Photos: Shin Min, omy.sg) Mr Fan was travelling to JB for a shopping trip with his wife, who was three months' pregnant and his one-year-old daughter. The manager told Shin Min that the incident started some 50 metres after he has crossed Malaysian immigration, when a silver-coloured car with a Singapore licence plate suddenly cut into his lane. He honked in response. Following this, the car which overtook him braked suddenly, forcing him to jam on his brakes, and resulting in his daughter being thrown off her seat. From video footage sent in by Mr Fan, Shin Min said the little girl could be heard crying in the background, and the silver-coloured car continued driving on after the abrupt stop. Mr Fan said he then drove into an adjacent lane and signalled for the other car to pull over. But this was met with more aggression, as the other driver attempted to knock into him. Things started to get more heated when both cars stopped at a traffic junction. Mr Fan said he got out of the car with his family, wanting to get an apology from the other party. He was met with a middle-aged road bully wielding a metal pole, who started pushing and taunting him. The other party soon made a move to return to his car but Mr Fan, who felt the situation was not resolved, tapped him on the back and at this point, he was attacked. A physical fracas broke out between the two men, with the road bully's wife trying to separate the heated individuals. A passing motorcyclist later got off his bike and tried to intervene. According to Mr Fan, the road bully told the motorcyclist that he was a Malaysian getting bullied by a Singaporean. When the road bully tried to make another lunge at Mr Fan, he was pulled aside by the biker. At this point, Mr Fan said he did not want to obstruct traffic any further, and got back into his car and drove off. Mr Fan told Shin Min he lodged a report with the Malaysian police last night.
