  "account": "A 67-year-old man, Martin Chua Kim Soon, was fined S$5,000 for throwing urine and feces outside his neighbor's apartment in Bukit Batok. Chua, a private-hire driver, pleaded guilty to two counts of insulting behavior under the Protection from Harassment Act, according to CNA. The alleged victim, a 73-year-old lorry driver, had punctured his vehicle's tires, which triggered Chua's retaliation. On April 28 at approximately 2am and again on May 4 at around 3am, Chua threw a mixture of urine and feces outside the victim's unit. Both incidents were reported to the police using the emergency number \"999.\" The victim, who is not acquainted with Chua, discovered the foul-smelling substance and called for help both times. Chua was apprehended on May 4 around 8:05pm and received his sentence on September 22, having already paid the fine in its entirety.",
