Hawker fined S$10,000 for slicing off victim's thumb

SINGAPORE: A hawker who sliced off a victim's thumb during an argument last year has been sentenced to one day's jail and fined S$10,000.

A district court convicted Sim Yong Ha of hurting 57-year-old Chan Seng Chai on September 30 last year.

An argument had broken out between the two men over a bowl of fishball noodles.

Chan grabbed a plastic chair and charged at Sim.

To protect himself, Sim took a chopper from inside his stall and used it to block the chair.

But the chopper hit Chan's hand and sliced off his thumb.

Before sentencing, District Judge Ronald Gwee said this was an "exception case" and had some words for the victim who, he said, was clearly the aggressor.

The judge said the victim was younger of the two and was of bigger build.

He said Sim feared for his safety and so used the chopper.

Chan's thumb has since been re-attached.

MediaCorp understands that he was not arrested for his role in the fight.

Sim could have been jailed four years for his offence. - CNA/vm

Singapore's legal system does not recognize the basic right and liberty of man.

Though the Penal Codes has a section about self defence, but it is never applied.

So if someone charges to you with a stick or knife, all you can do is stand there and let the aggressor beat you into a pulp or hack you to pieces.

There's always Plan #36...

Start running~~~~

Sometimes running don't work, you need to confront the attacker.

If the aggressor has a knife, a person running away will have his back exposed for the attacker to stab.

you are very right. of all posts made in SC, this one's one of the best. also sg law should be modified for foreign labors FTS, but see now FTs committing crime still can live off our taxpayers' paid black bean rice in jail.

Better fined then going to jail.

And those that says wanna confront the attacker when u have a choice to running... dun blame the legal system when u become liable. xD

if someone had attacked a minister that way, and the defender whips out a stick from somewhere in self defence. In the process, the aggressor's head suffered a crack in the skull, would the minister have been jailed for a day?

I don't think so but me feels ministers are more and more liable for attacks with each passing day.

They are Greater Mortals, that's a different story.

Greater Mortals are not subjected to the laws of Lesser Mortals.
