Zulkeflee Ab Razak, 47-years-old, was jailed 7 weeks and fined $300 on 29 April for one count of mischief, one count of leaving his house without reasonable excuse during the circuit breaker and one count of theft.
He had reportedly left his home during the 2020 Circuit Breaker and pooped inside an incense burner tin outside another man’s home.
He then cursed at the man when he was caught in the act.
Zulkeflee was unemployed at the time of the offences.
Some time around 3pm on 27 April 2020, Zulkeflee left his home to wander around Geylang for 3 hours, before boarding a bus to Bukit Batok to wander around some more.
He then went up to the 10th floor of a block of HDB flats.
The victim saw Zulkeflee walking from the lift to the staircase landing and felt suspicious because he had never seen Zulkeflee before in the vicinity, he went out of his flat to check.
He then saw Zulkeflee with his pants down and pooping inside his incense burner tin, which was placed at the staircase.
The victim then confronted Zulkeflee, who hurled vulgarities at him while pulling his pants up, before running down the staircase.
The victim then called the police.
He later called the police again after seeing Zulkeflee sitting on cordoned off benches.
Zulkeflee attempted to defend himself in court by saying that he needed to relieve himself and decided to do so by taking a lift to a random level.
He then saw the open incense burner tin without cover and decided to pangsai inside it.
He also admitted to stealing a pack of cigarettes from 7-eleven at Tampines in March last year, in a separate case.
Zulkeflee also told the court that this was his “first offence”, to which the judge replied:
“You come here almost every year.”
