SINGAPORE - A jobless man who stabbed a friend in the buttocks with a pair of scissors in a row over a $20 debt was jailed for six months on Friday.
Teo Chin Choon, 58, admitted causing hurt to removal man Mr Sim Kang Ming, 44, who suffered cuts on his left thigh and buttock at the 12th floor lift lobby of Block 3 Marsiling Drive.
A district court heard that Teo had been visiting a friend at the block on June 22 when Mr Sim dropped by with five cans of beer.
While the two were drinking, Teo reminded Mr Sim that he owed him $20 - sparking an argument.
