24-year-old Malaysian Yee Jing Man(Murderer) was working at the International Furniture Centre at Sungei Kadut Loop when the incident happened.
He was offered a salary increment and job promotion by his bosses and even received a Chinese New Year Ang Bao of SGD$999 for his good job performance. However, Yee decided not to take the promotion but to return the favour by chopping his boss to death.
Bosses of the company
29-year-old Lin Xinjie(deceased)
30-year-old Li Mingqiao
Ryan Pan Zai Xing, 29.
Yee received a 20 years jail sentence earlier today (June 9).
How it started
Yee has been working in the company since 2017 and he would often be praised by the victim saying that he is satisfied with his job performance.
In 2018, Yee received a SGD$999 Chinese New Year red packet from his boss and was offered an increment of SGD$300 along with a promotion to a manager role.
However, Yee rejected promotion as he worried that there will be more stress.
Later in the year, Yee started to became irresponsible for his job and his performance level fell. Between 2017 and 2019 he did not turn up to work for a total of 69 days.
Obviously, the boss would reprimand him for being elusive but Yee finds that he was scolded unreasonably. Their relationship soon turned sour.
The Murder
In 2019, Yee started to have trouble sleeping and even imagine hacking the directors (bosses) of the company with a chopper.
Yee’s girlfriend called Yee and said that he will soon be fired by the boss, Yee then told his girlfriend that he would procure a chopper to kill the boss.
In March 2019, Yee failed to return to work again and Yee’s girlfriend was informed that Yee does not need to come back to work anymore.
After Yee found out about the message, he arrived at the office in the afternoon to confront the 3 bosses of the company (Mr Li, Mr Lin, Mr Pan) the moment he arrived he slashed Mr Li on his head, neck and back.
He then went to Mr Lin and chop a few times at his back and neck, he even forces the 3rd co-owner of the business Mr Pan to swallow the red packet that was given to him previously and Mr Pan had to do it.
Yee then knew that it is over and stab himself in the stomach and slashed his wrist. He was later diagnosed with mental issues and IMH ruled that he was suffering from the depressive disorder which leads to his illogical actions.

Workers’ Party (WP)’s chief and Leader of the Opposition, Pritam Singh, said in a lengthy Facebook post that bigotry should be called out even if they are said in a private setting.
Singh mentioned that Singapore’s first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew, also had his concerns about interracial relationships in his 2011 book Hard Truths, saying that if his daughter wished to marry a black African, he would tell her that she’s mad.
However, in the same book, Lee also identified “inter-marriages” as being an example of how some racial communities can integrate better than others.
Singh said:
“It would seem that Mr Lee had both public and private views about inter-racial marriages and these turned on the context of his observations about specific aspects of Singapore society.”
Singh also said that attitudes on race do change, and that reservations can give way to acceptance over time.
He added that parents become more accepting of interracial relationships when they “see the happiness in their children’s eyes”.
Racist man crossed the line
Singh then described the incident with the racist lecturer as being a “serious and fatal misjudgement” and that he crossed a line.
Singh said:
“Bigoted views, even if privately held, have a nasty habit of showing themselves up opportunistically in day-to-day circumstances.”
“It would be important for those who host such private views to reflect deeply on how these can hurt themselves and more importantly, those around them.”
“When it comes to racism – there can be no ifs or buts.”
Call out bigoted views
Singh then added:
“As a multi-racial and increasingly multi-cultural, but most importantly – secular society – the public space is a shared space which is for all Singaporeans – regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation etc to participate actively in.”
“We are of course entitled to our private views – but should we not as a society call out bigoted private views with a view to make the public space safer and accommodative for all?
“Doing so would be a learning opportunity to self-reflect, unpack our preconceived notions and in doing so, determine what sort of society we aspire to be.”
Silver lining
The incident has shown that Singaporeans are able to recognise what is wrong and condemn it, with Singh calling it a silver lining.
“That many of all ages and persuasions have done so in response to Mr Tan’s racist diatribe, in a determined, yet restrained manner, represents a silver lining.”
“The swift backlash from the public and politicians of all stripes have also shown that such views are not acceptable in the Singapore of today, even if we continue to live with the comfortable truth that they persist.”
WP will work to eradicate bigotry and racism
Singh also maintained that his party with work to eradicate racism and bigotry.
“Going forward, my colleagues in the Workers’ Party and I will appeal for greater understanding and mutual respect from all, even as we work to promote efforts to eradicate the bigotry and racism that many Singaporeans – both young and old – seek to consign to history.”
