Teoh Yee Leong, 39, was fined $4,500 on Thursday (23 July) after he attacked a neighbour after throwing eggs into the victim’s house.
Teoh who lived in the above unit complained that his neighbour had been inviting friends over to their place to gather to drink beer and smoke.
On 24th May last year, Teoh approached his neighbours at around 11:35pm and threw a punch at his neighbour’s face after shouting that he was unhappy with the cigarette smoke.
The victim suffered a 4cm cut over his lip which incurred a medical bill of $708.74. This amount has been compensated by Teoh. Teoh stated that the smoke was affecting his family. His daughter even went to speak to his neighbours but was rebuffed.
“Every week they have a big group of friends drinking beer and smoking at their house which I endured until that day I cannot take it,” said Teoh.
