SINGAPORE: A pregnant 28-year-old part-time yoga instructor was jailed a day and fined $5,000 for slashing her husband with a kitchen knife.
Alexandra Chan, who is about six months pregnant, attacked 39-year-old car trader, Tang Siu Tong, in their apartment at Upper Bukit Timah Road on November 22 last year.
Mr Tang suffered cuts on his right hand and knee.
The dispute broke out after Chan refused to go on a holiday cruise with her spouse.
Lawyer, Sunil Sudheesan, who represented the blonde Caucasian woman told the court today that she had committed the offence impulsively.
He also said that Chan, who is suffering from major depressive disorder, has promised to continue with her treatment to address her condition.
The lawyer added that Mr Tang had also forgiven his wife and that the injuries he suffered were not severe.
Chan could have been jailed up to two years and fined a maximum of $5,000. - CNA/fa

You can bet if SG husband slashed that Ang Moh wife would be 1 year imprisonment. :oIo:
