11.45am.
He was charged in February with attempting to shoot at a security
guard at the Sun Plaza Shopping Mall.
He had earlier snatched S$4,000 from a cashier at a lottery outlet
in Sun Plaza.

Sigh. Sad sad life. He just stole money. Wont receive death
sentence. But still he commit suicide. Maybe he is having trouble
or dilemma at home.
Punishing is one thing, but finding out WHY a person steals is
another thing. We shld make the effort to find out why do criminals
do bad stuffs? Some are out of desperation... sigh...
