On the evening of January 23, 2021, Mohammad Noor Iszuan Noordin, 26, got into an argument with his wife about the attire for their upcoming wedding reception.
In a fit of anger, Noor threw his 25kg yellow bicycle down from the 14th floor of a Housing Board block located in Choa Chu Kang Crescent.

According to CNA, Noor pleaded guilty to one count of committing a rash act endangering the personal safety of others and was sentenced to a month’s jail on December 15.
After a person who witnessed the incident contacted the Police for help.
During the investigation, Noor initially lied to the investigators.
The prosecutor argued that the potential harm caused by throwing the bicycle from such a height and at a time when foot traffic has high warranted a sentence of six weeks’ jail.
The court also took into account Noor’s diagnosis of borderline intellectual functioning.
For penalties of rash act, he could have been jailed a maximum of 6 months and/or fined a maximum of S$2,500.
Previously the Police said:
“The police have zero tolerance against acts that endanger the lives or safety of others and will not hesitate to take action against those who blatantly disregard the law,”.
