Ex-SingTel engineer jailed for damaging OpenNet cables

[RonRon]

A dismissed SingTel engineering officer who damaged telecommunication installations in 12 housing estates was jailed for 15 months on Monday.

The total damage caused by Terrance Tan Khoon Shan amounted to $185,820.

The now-unemployed 35-year-old had admitted to 60 counts of cutting OpenNet's fibre optic cables in the splicing boxes last year. The cables support the new ultra-fast, fibre broadband network.

Another 557 similar charges were taken into consideration during his sentencing.

Obviously, you've never heard of the term 'disgruntled employee'.

Usually, the company/management/HR is to be blamed too, for creating their own monster.

Overwork, underpay and treat you like shit = ticking time bomb waiting to happen.
A little welfare and kindness go a long way in retaining your employees and letting them excel in their work.

Thank God he cut cables and not people's throats.

Why is he directing his anger at innocent people? Couldn't he just spit on his HR?

This guy must sent him to IMH.

不满遭解雇，一名工程人员决定大搞破坏来报复他的主管。他在1个多月内到全岛20多个组屋区（包括：金文泰、宏茂桥、大巴窑、义顺、三巴旺、盛港、裕廊、后港等地）捣乱，剪断百多座组屋的光纤电缆，导致高速上网、电话服务、电视转播中断数小时。

遭破坏的电缆联接装置，每个介于60元至480元，他所造成的损坏达18万5000余元。

前新电信工程人员陈坤山（35岁，洋名Terrance）昨天被判坐牢15个月。

他共面对617项控状，指他恶作剧剪断光纤熔接箱里的光纤电缆，触犯电信法令。控方以60项提控他，余项由法官下判时考虑。

这起案件相信是本地首例。

被解雇后找到新工作
仍对前上司怀恨在心陈坤山去年8月认罪时坦言，自己的用意是要让前上司为处理用户的投诉，忙得焦头烂额。

陈坤山在2009年加入新电信，主要负责处理热线，解答用户和承包商的询问。

陈坤山在1年后便遭解雇，尽管他在1个月内便在新科工程找到工程助理的工作，但他还是对前上司怀恨在心，终于让他在2011年3月逮到机会。

当时，他偶然间在住家附近组屋的光纤熔接箱上捡到一串钥匙，他经过一番尝试，成功打开其他组屋区的电缆箱。

于是，他便从3月到4月间，带着电缆剪刀展开破坏行动。
