Ling Heng Soon, 64-years-old, pleaded guilty to voluntarily causing hurt and was sentenced on 14 July to 4 months jail.
He had reportedly assaulted his own mother, Madam Ng Gung Huay, an 84-year-old wheelchair-bound elderly who is suffering from dementia.
What happened?
He had attacked his mother after she visited his flat at Chai Chee with her maid, Ms Eka Fransiska, on 7 August last year at around 7pm.
Soon after, the mother and son started arguing.
Madam Ng then insisted on going to the ground floor of the HDB and Ling then asked the maid to take her downstairs as he opened his flat’s front gate.
He then pushed his mother’s wheelchair towards the staircase railing causing her to fall onto the ground.
The maid helped her back into her wheelchair but Ling once again pushed it towards the staircase railing, causing his mother to fall onto the ground again.
Ling also pulled his mother’s hair and hit her left hand with a slipper 3 times.
The maid asked Ling to stop the attack, and she pushed her wheelchair back into the flat.
Ling’s wife then returned and saw her mother-in-law injured the next day before alerting the police.
The manager of one of the affected outlets of the KTV cluster, Mr Li from Supreme KTV, said that the infected social hostess who was at his outlet was not an employee, but a customer.
He said that he only found out of the infected social hostess being among his customers after MOH notified them of a confirmed case there.
He added:
“These girls have been to so many places, whether they got infected at (Supreme KTV) is unclear.”
“For us, having customers is already a very good thing. Why would we go out of our way to check on their identities.”
He added that he is worried about the cluster cases and fears the efforts of the last year will all go to waste as the industry has been awaiting the reopening of nightclubs and KTV lounges.

A YP took to Instagram to shame and blame a guy for chipping the paint on his bicycle.
He threatened to report the matter to police and posted a photo of his bicycle’s “damage”.
We examined the photo in question and could honestly see no difference, maybe our eyesight is failing us.
Here is the full story:
“he paint chipped my bike, during april but i gave him time like to compensate me for the paint only and he said because he needed time, but when time comes i asked him, he told me he forgotten about it so i told him, how about ask your parents to pay for you first and you pay them back slowly, he gave me a lot of excuses. i just hope people out there knows that if people gave you time please don’t take it for granted because i only asked $50 for compensation for the paint chips that he done.”
A satay stall assistant who visited KTV tested positive for Covid-19 and now the entire Toa Payoh Lorong 5 food centre has been ordered to closed for all workers to be tested.
It is understood that the worker got infected after going to a KTV on Sunday, which is believed to be linked to the existing KTV cluster.
The hawker centre received the orders for temporary closure yesterday (14 July) at about 3pm.
The worker was seen working at the stall on Sunday and KTV on the same day, before being diagnosed shortly afterwards.
