Former actor to plead guilty to charge of voluntarily causing hurt
By Claire Huang | Posted: 15 March 2012 1128 hrs

SINGAPORE: Former MediaCorp actor Ng Aik Leong, better known as Huang Yiliang, is expected to plead guilty when he returns to court on April 5.

The 50-year-old, who's currently an insurance agent, turned up in court Thursday to face a charge of voluntarily causing hurt to a woman.

Court documents state that Ng had grabbed Mdm Tan Buay Huang's neck, pushed her and caused her to fall near Toa Payoh Lorong 2 on May 20 last year, shortly after 7.00 pm.

This after Ng allegedly got into a scuffle with the victim after he noticed that she did not dispose of her dog's faeces properly.

The case was adjourned Thursday morning as the victim's medical report is said to be incomplete.

Ng's lawyer said that he tried to get the prosecution to withdraw the charge and give his client a warning instead, but this was turned down.

If guilty, Ng faces a jail term of up to two years, or a maximum fine of S$5,000, or both.

Former MediaCorp actor fined for hurting woman
Posted: 05 April 2012 1359 hrs

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.
