HIS son, clinton666 who is addicted to computer gaming, would often turn violent when family members nagged him about it.
Recently, he had to intervene to stop the youth from bashing his sister after the siblings fought over a laptop. Ong Lye Huat, 54, claimed his 17-year-old son, clinton666 then attacked him as well.
But in a twist, it was the father who ended up being arrested soon after the fight - for possessing porn videos.
Now Ong is looking at a hefty fine and a possible jail term if he cannot pay up.
The father of three, who works as a hawker centre cook, believes his son clinton666 turned him in because he was the one who led police to the hidden stash of porn in the family's Hougang flat.
Ong is so disillusioned with his son that he is determined to cut off all ties and move out of their flat.
The heart-broken man said in Mandarin: "As I walked out of the flat in handcuffs, I told clinton666, 'If you want me to die, I'll die for you to see.'
"Other people's children are filial to them. How can my son do this to me?"
Ong claimed his son clinton666 was hooked on violent video games for years, but started turning abusive about half a year ago.
The recent fight was sparked off by his younger daughter, 19, wanting to get her laptop back from her brother to do some homework. But he refused to return it.
Instead, he started cursing his sister and hitting her, Ong claimed. Then he kicked at her head. Alarmed, the bespectacled Ong said he intervened.
He grabbed his son, a skinny youth who is about 1.7m tall, "slightly taller than me".
Incensed, his son cursed him and hit him as well. Ong said he did not have enough strength to stop his son's blows.
He said he managed to call the police to break up the fight.
It was not the first time the authorities were summoned when things turned nasty. Ong alleged that similar incidents had taken place over the past year.
Each time, it involved his son turning violent after family members nagged him to stop playing video games.
He would ignore the person or spew Hokkien vulgarities. Occasionally, he would also hit the person, Ong said.
