The intention is right but I guess the action is mixed with too much emotion....

 

 

SINGAPORE: Former MediaCorp actor Ng Aik Leong, better known as Huang Yiliang, was fined $3,000 on Thursday for hurting a woman who failed to clean up after her dog.

 

The 50-year-old man, who left MediaCorp in 2008 and currently owns a production house, pleaded guilty to voluntarily causing hurt.

 

The altercation took place near Toa Payoh Lorong 2 on May 20, 2011.

 

48-year-old Mdm Tan Buay Huang was walking her dog when Ng noticed from inside his car that she did not dispose of her dog's faeces properly.

 

He drove up to her and scolded her for not cleaning up.

 

Both parties started to quarrel and the incident escalated to the point where Ng and the victim started video-recording and taking pictures of each other with their handphones.

 

The court also heard that Mdm Tan later tried to prevent Ng from leaving by standing in front of his car.

 

Ng then got out of his car, grabbed Mdm Tan's neck and pushed her aside, causing her to fall.

 

He continued taunting her while holding her down forcefully.

 

In his mitigation, Ng's lawyer Mr Bala Chandran, said the scuffle arose as a result of Mdm Tan's actions rather than Ng's own volition.

 

He added that Ng was "merely doing a civic duty by requesting the victim to pick up her dog's faeces".

 

However, in response, Deputy Public Prosecutor Crystal Tan argued that Ng was clearly badgering Mdm Tan by taunting and honking at her.

 

In addition, she said video footage revealed that Ng had admitted he was bothering Mdm Tan intentionally, and even threatening to send her to jail.

 

In sentencing, District Judge Lee Poh Choo addressed the root of the incident, noting that it "arose from the ungracious behaviour of an irresponsible dog owner".

 

While she said that Ng was right in confronting Mdm Tan, she added that he had "unfortunately went overboard", and reacted in an "ungentlemanly manner".

 

The court also heard that Mdm Tan, who suffered multiple abrasions, will not be seeking compensation.

 

Ng could have been jailed up to two years, and fined $5,000.

What does this teach us?

Not in my backyard syndrom?

or

Heckcare attitude to social civilness?

 

This is precisely the type of news, that my parents keep telling me to mind my own business since I was young. Dont care and dont ask, mind my own business and turn a blind eyes to other who want to make bad things, let the police catch them not me!

If she can clean her own s--t and backside after she s--t, why cant she clean her dog s--t? Cmon if u cant even bother to clean up your dog s--t, just kill it and cook dog meat to eat la. Dont go around dirtying the neighbourhood

2 unknowns:

 

1. Did he confront her in a aggressive manner that causes her to react in kind?

2. Did she started off aggressively causing him to lose control?
