Given the anti-Sporn nature of the Familee, they would have publicized it if Sporns are involved. Hence it's very likely that these poodles are beaten up mostly by the Old Fart's FTrash pets!

Ng Keng Leng, 44, who pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer and to abusing another, was yesterday jailed six months and fined $2,000.
Asking for leniency, he told the district court he had nose cancer and was in a daze that day after taking too much cough mixture.
District Judge Roy Neighbour pointed out that Ng could not plead guilty and then deny intending to abuse and hurt the officers. Ng then withdrew his earlier statements and said he committed the offences in a moment of folly.
The court heard that the police received a call just after noon on Aug 20 this year about a man in a carpark near Block 574, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10.The caller said the man's legs were bleeding.
On arrival 20 minutes later, one officer called for an ambulance while his partner asked Ng what was wrong. The injured man hurled a Hokkien expletive at him.
Warned against using abusive language, Ng charged at one of the officers and elbowed him in the chest. The two policemen then subdued and arrested him. Last year, about 150 public servants were assaulted on duty, down slightly from the previous year's figure of 157.
