Guess what race just cant do anything right?

A man was charged in court on Wednesday with causing annoyance to a house occupant by setting fire to his HDB flat for a loan taken by another resident.

No plea was taken from Mohamed Ashyik Mohamed Shawal, 31.

He is accused of acting on behalf of an unlicensed moneylender, known as Denzel, to torch a 12th-floor unit at Toh Guan Road in Jurong East by using flammable lighter fluid. He also wrote loanshark graffiti on the 12th-floor lift landing at 11.52pm on June 12.

The charge states that he caused annoyance to the house occupant in connection with an illegal loan taken by his neighbour on the 11th floor.

He was tracked down by police cameras mounted near the incident.

Ashyik was arrested on Monday in Toa Payoh. Cans of paint, bicycle chain locks and marker pens were seized.

He was remanded at Central Police Division for further investigation as he is believed to be involved in a series of similar incidents.

Ashyik's request to be sent to the Institute of Mental Health was turned down by District Judge Eddy Tham.

He will appear in court on June 24.

If convicted, he could be jailed for up to five years, fined up to $50,000 and given three to six strokes of the cane.

this is another example of neglect and oppression suffered by minorities despite they having special privileges in the constitution. Instead the opposite happened. their rights were violated, denied chance to serve in the upper echelon of gahmen service and the armed forces and their kampung land seized by forceful land acquisition and forced to live in HDB flats and their majority constituency dispersed all over to no more than 15% and therefore no chance to vote for their MP's in parliament to voice their grievances.

Hope he attempts a jailbreak

Can't totally blame the m&d for this one. HDB pigeon holes have unit with similiar repeating numbers with only the floor numbers being different.
Coupled with the fact the m&d could have taken 'something' before the job, 9 probably looked like a 6 to him! LoL

and if he drove a car, he'd probably mistake the temp guage "h & c' as "habis & cukup"...
the fuel guage "f & e" as "finis & enuff"

Can they charge him, for Arson & attempting to commit murder?
