SINGAPORE - A man paid a heavy price on Thursday for getting into an argument with a stall assistant over bottle caps.
He ended up hitting a stall assistant's head with a beer bottle and was imprisoned.
On the evening of Jan 23, Tay Tian Guan had ordered six bottles of Carlsberg beer from the drinks stall at a coffeeshop in Jalan Membina.
Sometime after midnight, he approached Mr Toh Hap Hoo with four bottle caps, each indicating that the bearer won 80 cents.
