SCDF RAGGING: COMMANDERS APPEAL OVER VICTIM’S DROWNING, GETS LONGER JAIL TERM INSTEAD

Former Tuas View Fire Station rota commander Kenneth CHong Chee Boon, and his deputy Nazhan Mohamed Nazi, were handed longer jail sentences after trying to appeal over the death of a full-time NSF, Corporal Kok Yuen Chin, who drowned under their charge in a scandalous ragging case.

They were given 11 months and 10 months imprisonment respectively.

They were jailed under the charge of intentionally aiding their servicement to cause grievous hurt by doing a rash act which endangered human life.

They had failed to prevent the servicemen under their charge from making Corporal Kok enter a 12 metre deep pump well as part of a ragging ritual to celebrate his upcoming ORD.

The NSF later drowned in the well after spending more than half an hour in the water, and the rota’s men tried frantically but unsuccessfully to save him.

Corporal Kok died just 3 days shy of his ORD date.

Justice See Kee Oon said:

“The sentences I impose will be substantial to drive home the message that there is no place for ragging in NS.”

Justice See said that the evidence fully supports the inference that Corporal Kok was never a willing participant.

The victim’s father who attended most of the hearings, said:

“What else can I feel? (My son) is gone. He’s in another world … We have to pass the days, we have no choice.”

YOUNG PUNK SLASHED MAN WHO REFUSED TO HELP HIM BUY CIGARETTES, JAILED AND CANED

James Teck Jing You, 19-years-old, was sentenced to 3.5 years imprisonment and 8 strokes of the cane earlier today, for stabbing and slashing a man who refused to help the underaged young punk to buy cigarettes.

Teck, who was 18-years-old, at the time of his offence, was at Boon Lay Shopping Centre on 7 October 2020.

He had a knife that he hid under his waistband that he bought several months ago, carrying it around with him whenever he left home for the purpose of self defense.

Teck noticed the victim, Mr Lee Jing Chwen, 23-years-old, walking in the opposite direction on a flight of stairs.

Teck then followed him up the stairs and approached him in the queue to enter the FairPrice store on the 2nd floor of the shopping mall.

Teck then asked Lee for his age and whether he would buy cigarettes for him, to which Lee rejected his request repeatedly.

It is worth noting that the minimum legal age to buy cigarettes at the time was 20-years-old, it has since been raised to 21-years-old.

Lee was angered that Lee wouldn’t help him to buy, and that he felt the older man was being “rude and disrespectful”.

Lee reached the front of the queue at the temperature screening station and asked the crew member there if she could tell Teck to stop following him and go away.

Teck then shouted: “YOU DON’T WANT TO BUY RIGHT?!” before lunging at Lee with the knife.

He grabbed Lee’s shoulder and slashed him several times.

Teck said that he was aiming for Lee’s face because it would be difficult for him to retaliate and defend himself.

Lee tried to duck Teck’s attacked and started shouting that he was sorry, but he was pulled down by Teck who swung his knife at him again.

Lee ran into the supermarket and left a trail of blood in his wake, and Teck was chasing after him and swinging his knife, this time aiming for the back of the victim’s head.

Teck then fled the supermarket after realising he had caught the public’s attention.

He then disposed the knife on top of a drain cover, washed Lee’s blood from his hands and took a cab to Yishun.

He was then arrested at 11pm and the weapon was recovered.

Lee was conveyed to hospital, suffering multiple injuries which would cause him permanent incapacity in terms of disfigurement and scarring.

GRABFOOD RIDER ADMITTED TO ICU AFTER ACCIDENT, FAMILY APPEALING FOR ASSISTANCE

The brother of a Grabfood rider who was involved in a serious accident which saw him admitted into the ICU for 10 days, has taken to social media to appeal to the public for assistance.

He wrote that they are a family of 3, and that his brother, Mohammed Ali, is the youngest son raised by their single father.

Their father had suffered a stroke and lost his job during the pandemic, and that he can’t get re-employed due to his ailing health and age.

He wrote that Ali was an active young boy who just graduated from ITE and was waiting for his NS enlistment.

While waiting, Ali worked as a part time bicycle rider to help his family out, pay for his basic necessities, his bike license and to h ave some savings for his NS.

On 10 April, at around 8.36pm, Ali was delivering a Grabfood order to the customer when he got into an accident along Toh Guan Road, towards Bukit Batok.

Ali suffered multiple injuries and was admitted into the ICU for 10 days, where he was in a coma for 7 days.

Because the impact to his head was tremendous, Ali’s bleeding brain was shifted to one side of his skull, and he needed a very critical brain surgery.

Surgeons had to perform a craniectomy, a surgery to remove a part of his skull to release pressure from his head and get rid of the blood clots inside his brain, in order to save his life.

Ali also had 3 of his major veins in his right hand severed from the accident, snapping his artery, tendons and nerve vessels.

He also suffered broken ribs, hips, spine and shin (left).

Ali was transferred to a surgical neuro ward after his successful brain surgery and the hospital bills have since skyrocketed to about S$100,000 and is still increasing.

The neurosurgeon also recommended cranioplasty, to replace Ali’s removed skull with a new artificial one that about $15K to $30K, including the surgery.

His brother captioned the post:

“Please help My Brother, Mohammed Ali.“

“Assalamualaikum family, friends, brothers and sisters“

“Im starting this to raise some funds to help my family & I, for my younger brother’s medical bills, therapies and necessities. This would be much help for us family during this difficult time.“

“My dad & I – Py, seek help from everyone to help my brother, Mohammed Ali Bin Mohammed Kamarruhadi, and ease my family financial burden. And not forgetting the prayers for Ali’s health in mind, spirit, and for his speedy recovery.“

“Contributions can be made via POSB SAVINGS 056-18180-6,“

“Any amount of contribution from you, no matter how small is hugely appreciated by the family.“

“May God bless you for your good deeds during this month of Ramadhan, Amin”

16-YEAR-OLD JUMPS INTO RIVER AFTER FIGHT WITH PARENTS, MUM DROWNS TRYING TO SAVE HER

A 16-year-old girl from Wuxing District in Huzhou, Zhejiang, reportedly jumped into a river after fighting with her parents; they had forbidden her from using her phone.

The girl got into a heated argument with her parents over her playing with her phone while the 3 were out shopping.

The girl then jumped into the river, which was right beside the road that the family was on.

Her mother, who couldn’t swim, jumped into the river without a second thought to save her daughter.

Both mother and daughter drowned to their deaths, with their bodies sinking to the bottom of the river.

Because the river waters were exceptionally murky, it took rescuers several hours to locate their bodies.

The girl’s body was found by rescuers first, and her mother was found much later.
