SINGAPORE, June 13 — A 22-year-old man has been sentenced to six months in jail in Singapore today for attacking his parents at home after they refused to give him S$5,000 (RM16,555), breaching a court order that barred him from using violence against them.
According to The Straits Times, the man, who cannot be named due to gag orders under the Women’s Charter, had previously served reformative training for assaulting his parents in 2021. Despite this, he returned to violent behaviour less than two years later.
On April 14, he asked his 59-year-old father for S$5,000 while they were in the living room. When told there was no money to give, he punched his father on the shoulder and back. His 60-year-old mother, alerted by the commotion, was then confronted and similarly assaulted after saying she also had no money.
