This is the MRT one...
A BANK executive, Kwong Kok Hing has been jailed one year for
pushing his girlfriend into the path of an MRT train.
Kwong, 26, was charged for attempted culpable homicide, not
amounting to murder, under section 308 of the penal code. He faced
imprisonment up to 7 years, fine, or both.
He allegedly pushed Ms Low Siew Mui, 26, off a platform at the
Clementi MRT station on the evening of Sept 14 last year.
Ms Low, a public relations executive, managed to reach the other
side of the tracks just as a train pulled into the station.
The alarm was raised and SMRT staff helped her back onto the
platform as commuters held Kwong until the police arrived.
Ms Low was later treated for minor injuries.
Kwong has been in remand since Sept 16 2006 and will be freed
soon.
His father, a retiree, Mr Kwong Ying Siew and mother, Mdm Chua Big
Geok, as well as church friends were present in court.
Mdm Chua was emotional during the sentencing. Both parents were
very happy that he had gotten a one year sentence.
They said they would bring him back to Malaysia to continue
psychiatric treatment.
