SINGAPORE — A 46-year-old woman was sentenced to six weeks’ jail on Wednesday (Aug 25) for throwing an assortment of items, including electronic devices, out of her 12th-floor flat window.
Maslina Ramlee, a Singaporean, pleaded guilty to committing a rash act that endangered human life. No one was injured by her acts on the morning of March 9 last year.
The court heard that she had felt upset and frustrated about spending her days alone at home, as her husband and son were in prison.
Because of this, she threw five metal pots, a computer central processing unit (CPU), computer monitor, sound bar and Hi-Fi set out of the window of her flat in a public housing block in Bishan. The exact location was not given in court documents.
The items landed on the ground floor along a grass patch and on a concrete walkway, which residents would use to go to a nearby exercise corner and neighbouring blocks.
While the items were badly damaged by the impact, no one was struck by them.
