RILED by a soldier's poor work attitude, three of his colleagues
beat him up one evening, with one of them hitting him with a
helmet, umbrella and broomstick until the 19-year-old lay on the
floor, semi-conscious and vomiting.
And when a medic later advised that the victim be taken to
hospital immediately, two of the perpetrators loaded Mr Jagjeet
Singh - who held the rank of recruit - onto a trolley, wheeled him
to his bunk and dumped him on the floor.
On Wednesday, the three assailants were sentenced by a military
court for the Dec 17 beating, which was so severe that the victim
is still in hospital over a month after the incident in Bedok Camp
2 at Upper East Coast Road.

All three pleaded guilty. The main culprit,
Lance-Corporal Nur Hilman Kassim, 23, was jailed three years and
ordered to be caned six times. He will serve time in a civilian
prison. Corporal Muhammad Fahmi Ibrahim and Recruit Hong Zhi Sheng,
both 22, were sent to the detention barracks for six and four
months respectively.
During the hearing at the Singapore Armed Forces' Court Martial
Centre, the court heard that the three storemen had confronted
their colleague at about 6.30pm on Dec 17, annoyed that his poor
work attitude had landed them in trouble with their
superiors.
The face-off was verbal at first, but it spiralled into
violence when they became agitated by his blank stares and
uninterested responses.
