SINGAPORE : A former kitchen assistant has been
ordered in a district court to perform 200 hours of community
service for stabbing an ex-colleague at a Resorts World Sentosa
eatery on February 11.
Wong Phee Hon, 58, stabbed Mr Vong Wah Lee, 27, in
the stomach in the kitchen of Ho Yeh Cafe after the younger man had
accused him of being "stupid".
Wong was opening a tin of kaya when Mr Vong, a cook,
shouted at him, telling him that he should use another type of can
opener instead.
Insulted by this sudden provocation, a furious Wong picked up a
knife, walked over to Mr Vong and stabbed him.
Wong was detained by a security officer while Mr Vong was sent to
the Singapore General Hospital for treatment.
Mr Vong had to undergo surgery with injuries to his intestines and
was discharged five days later.
The court heard that Wong has to complete performing all 200 hours
of community service within a year.
He could have been jailed up to three months, fined a maximum of
S$2,500 or both.

I would also do that. I would cut him open and take out all of
his insides.
