A jobless man was sentenced to one year in jail today after he had stolen $32 from a mosque.
The Straits Times reported that 40-year-old Noraizam Abdullah pleaded guilty last month to stealing the money to buy food for himself and his wheelchair-bound mother.
He also told investigators that he had stolen the money out of desperation as he was not able to get help from the mosque.
According to court documents, the money had been stolen from a donation box at the entrance of the Darussalam mosque along Commonwealth Avenue West on Dec 11, 2011.
Closed-circuit television footage revealed that he had carried the donation box to a staircase landing and removed the money in it after forcing the box open.
The Straits Times report also added that Noraizam had served six jail terms since 1997, which includes five years of corrective training in 2002.
