Man fined for leaving urine and faeces outside neighbour's Bukit Batok flat
The victim was alarmed and called the police.
A 67-year-old private-hire driver in Singapore was recently fined S$5,000 (US$3,920) for leaving urine and faeces outside his neighbour's apartment. Martin Chua Kim Soon pleaded guilty to two counts of insulting behaviour under the Protection from Harassment Act, and the court heard that he mistakenly believed the foul substances were left by a lorry driver who had punctured his tyres.
The victim, a 73-year-old lorry driver, lived in the apartment directly across from Chua and called the police each time he discovered the offensive substances, citing them as an act of harassment. Chua, who has no prior convictions, received the maximum possible fine for his actions.
