SINGAPORE - Insisting that he be paid his monthly salary immediately, a cargo handler made death threats to his colleagues even though pay day was three days away.
Sulaiman Shaik Alladin, 47, refused to accept an explanation that his then-employer's policy was to credit salaries on the last day of the month. On Aug 28 last year, he told a colleague at logistics firm Transpeed: "I kill you. I kill boss. I go 10 years prison rice I can eat."
Hours later, Sulaiman told another colleague: "I don't care who you are. I will kill you."
On Tuesday, Sulaiman was sentenced to six months in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of criminal intimidation.
