NSF recounts brutal assault
Thu, Apr 29, 2010
The Straits Times
By Khushwant Singh
IN HIS testimony over the past two days, Mr Lee Poh Kiang, 19, described how he was assaulted by four men, including the father and uncle of his girlfriend, at a petrol station in Ang Mo Kio on May 29 last year.
They took away his cell phone and forced him and the girlfriend into a car for the trip to the Yio Chu Kang Cemetery. There, two more men joined in the attack and despite the girl begging her father to spare her friend, they burnt him with cigarettes, beat him with a baton and then threatened him a samurai sword.
On Thursday afternoon, defence counsel Subhas Anandan tried to punch holes in the NSF's testimony and Mr Lee had trouble explaining why he had told the doctor at the National University Hospital (NUH) immediately after the attack that 'two men had assaulted him with their bare hands and with sticks', which was contrary to his testimony.
