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.
