SINGAPORE: A hawker who sliced off a victim's thumb during an argument last year has been sentenced to one day's jail and fined S$10,000.
A district court convicted Sim Yong Ha of hurting 57-year-old Chan Seng Chai on September 30 last year.
An argument had broken out between the two men over a bowl of fishball noodles.
Chan grabbed a plastic chair and charged at Sim.
To protect himself, Sim took a chopper from inside his stall and used it to block the chair.
But the chopper hit Chan's hand and sliced off his thumb.
Before sentencing, District Judge Ronald Gwee said this was an "exception case" and had some words for the victim who, he said, was clearly the aggressor.
The judge said the victim was younger of the two and was of bigger build.
He said Sim feared for his safety and so used the chopper.
Chan's thumb has since been re-attached.
MediaCorp understands that he was not arrested for his role in the fight.
Sim could have been jailed four years for his offence. - CNA/vm -
next time some cyclist knocks into U on the pavement...U want to take out chopper too?

Joke, he can take up a fishball to defend himself, why the chopper

Singapore's legal system does not recognize the basic right and liberty of man.
Though the Penal Codes has a section about self defence, but it is never applied.
So if someone charges to you with a stick or knife, all you can do is stand there and let the aggressor beat you into a pulp or hack you to pieces.

There's always Plan #36...Start running~~~~

Sometimes running don't work, you need to confront the attacker.
If the aggressor has a knife, a person running away will have his back exposed for the attacker to stab.

ya he shd have thrown all his fishballs at the aggressor lol. see he scared or not.

you are very right. of all posts made in SC, this one's one of the best. also sg law should be modified for foreign labors FTS, but see now FTs committing crime still can live off our taxpayers' paid black bean rice in jail. -

if someone had attacked a minister that way, and the defender whips out a stick from somewhere in self defence. In the process, the aggressor's head suffered a crack in the skull, would the minister have been jailed for a day?
I don't think so but me feels ministers are more and more liable for attacks with each passing day.

They are Greater Mortals, that's a different story.
Greater Mortals are not subjected to the laws of Lesser Mortals.

they quarreled over a bowl of fishbowl noodles. I'm imagining how the argument went.
Customer: One bowl of fish noodles
Hawker: OK!
(Bowl arrives)
Customer: Why only two fishballs?
Hawker: What were you expecting?
Then customer throws 2 fishballs at hawker, plus an additional chair moments later. Hawker took out his chopper in self defence and sliced off the aggressor's thumb.

Customer's wife: Hello yandao, One fishball noodle packet, please..

Customer arrived: Just pack one fishball noodle and shut up, and stop looking at my wife.
Hawker: Hello, my eyes want to see where my problem ok, why, your wife good to see meh...more young pretty ladies sitting there for me to see, see your wife for what, your wife miss universe ar???

Final verdict, to prevent such incident from happening, use fixed stool chair instead of removable plastic chair.

Judge: Well my little ignorant friend, this is the land of laws. We cannot allow any Tom Dick and Harry to take matters into thier own hands! Were u in immediate bodily harm or life threatening ? Did u HAVE to chop the poor man's dick off ? I dont see no proportionality here! I do not see it as a neccesity either. The option of retreat was clearly available for u.All i see.. is an angry citizen, bent on taking the laws into her own hands! Resulting in exccesive force in rendering the man's dick severed.
Your belief of imminent danger is unwarranted. Traditionally, the imminence of danger has been held to be a question of fact and degree and not a requirement of law. Nevertheless, in deciding whether your self-defence is legitimate, the issue of imminence may not be ignored by must be weighted together with the seriousness of the threat and opportunity to seek protection without resorting to the use of force.
So I must end this debacle by making it clear, that you must see yousself as being in "real" or crystalised danger, and not merely think that there may be some future danger to you.
Appeal Dismissed !
Bailiff! Take this biatch outta here!
