Man fined $4000 for assasult in pub

 

SINGAPORE: A 27-year-old Singaporean man has been fined $4,000 for assaulting another man who had made derogatory remarks about him in a pub.

 

Alexander Lincoln Chew Yew Wah punched Mills Richard Jonathan several times in the face.

 

The incident happened in November 2010 in a pub at Nanson Road off Mohamed Sultan Road.

 

The court heard that 29-year-old Mills had challenged Chew to hit him. The two men scuffled outside the pub's washroom.

 

A security officer later reported the incident to the police.

 

Mills was warded in hospital for two days. As a result of the assault, he sustained a scar on his eyebrow.

 

In his mitigation, Chew's lawyer argued that his client had no intention to cause trouble, but the Briton's "derogatory comments coupled with his persistent taunts" angered him.

 

The lawyer, who called for a fine of $1,000, added that the victim was not entirely blameless in the incident.

 

In sentencing, District Judge Ronald Gwee noted that the overtones in Mills' comments were quite clear and there was "a certain degree of provocation".

 

However, he also agreed with the prosecution that Chew had "over-reacted".

 

The judge added that a fine was appropriate in this case, but it should be sufficient to act as a deterrent.

 

For voluntarily causing hurt, Chew could have been jailed up to two years and fined $5,000.

He just followed instructions only, a typical local guy, like follow the laws. Indeed, he is a very good local guy. Lucky the ang moh nvr asked the guy to him.
