SINGAPORE: A 32-year-old man who assaulted Dr Tan Wu Meng, a Member of Parliament (MP) for Jurong GRC, was on Tuesday (Oct 23) sentenced to three months in jail.
Mohammad Ameen Mohamed Maideen assaulted Dr Tan in April at the ground floor of Block 334 Clementi Avenue 2, where a Meet-the-People session was being held.
Ameen was there to ask for help with a matrimonial issue, the court heard.
