Teen arrested for violence at MP's office

[PROBLEMS: The mother (R) hasn't worked since she broke her wrist after falling while cleaning a fan. Her son (C) suffers from thalassemia, a blood disorder that leaves him weak and sickly. ]

By Ng Tze Yong

A YOUTH with low IQ has been arrested by police after flying into a rage at a Meet-the-People Session (MPS), upset at what he felt was his MP's cold-shoulder treatment of his mother's financial plight.

The 17-year-old boy hoisted an aluminium foldable chair over his head and slammed it against a glass door seconds after walking out of MP Cynthia Phua's Serangoon North office with his mother.
The boy, who has been released on bail, has been told to report back to the police on 12 May, where he may be charged with committing a rash act.

The offence carries a jail term of up to six months and a fine of up to $2,500.

The youth cannot be named because of impending court proceedings.

This is the third incident in recent months involving MPs and their constituents.

The boy and his mother, 53, are familiar faces to the grassroots volunteers at the MPS.

The unwed mother with Primary 6 education gets by on a $400 monthly salary as a part-time cleaner.

He attended a special school and suffers from thalassemia, a blood disorder that renders him weak and sickly.

The mother said that things went from bad to worse in November 2004 when the boy's father disappeared and stopped paying the $300 monthly maintenance due to her.

As a result, she visited the MPS about once a month for the past few years to request for various kinds of financial aid.

FORGIVE ME: Two days ago, the mother returned to the MPS alone
and with a handwritten letter of apology from her son.
January this year saw a crisis unfold in their lives, when the mother broke her wrist after falling off a chair while cleaning a fan. She hasn't worked since.

She said the HDB was then in the middle of repossessing her flat and giving her a rental unit, but she was unable to pay the $138 in rental deposit and stamp duty.

So last Monday, she went to the office at Block 125, Serangoon North Ave 1, where MP Lim Hwee Hua holds her MPS, hoping to have her sign an appeal letter for HDB.

But that day, Mrs Lim, who is also a minister in the Prime Minister's Office, was abroad. Fellow Aljunied GRC MP Cynthia Phua stood in for her.

The mother's request was granted - Madam Phua signed the letter - but mother and son left fuming, claiming that Madam Phua had put them down.

She claimed that shortly after they had entered the office, Madam Phua asked her son a series of questions:

'She asked him, 'Who are you? What are you doing? Why aren't you working?' she claimed.

The mother said she wanted to explain her son's condition, but wasn't given a chance.

'I felt like we were being scolded,' she said.

The meeting ended after two or three minutes, she said.

As they were walking out, the son snapped.

His outburst with the chair - two blows against the glass door, which didn't break - was 'strong enough to get someone killed', said the Serangoon PAP branch secretary, Mr Poon Mun Wai.

As grassroots volunteers scrambled to calm down the teenager, his mother begged a neighbour to whisk him home immediately.

Later that night, the police arrived at their flat and arrested him. He was released on bail at about 1am.

When contacted, Madam Phua contradicted the mother's version of events, saying she felt that their conversation 'went well'.

She said: 'Like any normal case at MPS, I have to try to understand the case first of all...

'I had to ask some pointed questions about his employment status to understand the root cause of the problem, so that I can be more effective in helping them.'

During the one week after the incident, the mother pondered what to do.

She got her son to shave off his shoulder-length orange-dyed hair to get rid of bad luck.

For days, she said, he couldn't find the courage to face himself in the mirror. He also decided to put on hold a long-time dream to audition for Singapore Idol.

Two days ago, she returned to the MPS again alone and clutching a handwritten letter of apology from her son.

'Please fodgive me for what I dad I am sinelely truely I'm sorry (sic),' the teenager had written in big, neat handwriting.

The apology, however, was not acceptable to Mrs Lim, who was back chairing the MPS after returning from abroad.

'I made it very clear to (the mother) that this is unacceptable behaviour. It is not justifiable in any circumstance. There's no excuse to be violent,' Mrs Lim told The New Paper.

She also explained that she was not in a position to excuse or forgive the boy.

'I was not present and the police are investigating into the matter. I believe the police will take into consideration the mitigating factors,' said Mrs Lim.

'From what I understand, Madam Phua was being very motherly and very helpful inside the room with them.'

Mrs Lim's response surprised the mother, who had spoken fondly of her throughout the interview with The New Paper just a day before.

She said: 'I know what my son did was wrong. But how can I not defend him? He is my son, he is not well and he has a problem with his temper.

'I don't want him to go to jail and have his future ruined.'

No, seriously what did she do wrong? Calling the mata was wrong? Not getting the lady her job back was wrong? Or you meant helping the sinkie was wrong?

Being an opposition MP is wrong. Clearly there should only be PAP MPs. All opposition parties should be deemed illegal, and all the salaries/allowances re-distributed to the PAP.

Elections are also a waste of tax-payer time and money; Singapore would clearly benefit from a monarchy, and familee members should be appointed life long rulers (imperial, of course).

Exactly. Maybe she's unfriendly towards assholes!!

 

[tanwahp]

Dumbfuck opposition supporting retards think all Opposition members are saints. The truth is they are much much worse then the made up image of PAP MPs and ministers. This is precisely the kind of things that WP always do

Using Police against resident: call police on group of vendors submitting a petition against trade fairs to their TC

Greed: Hold trade fair after trade fair in their TC to earn more money at the expense of the local vendors

Nepotism: Award most expensive TC Management contract in Singapore to their good friend's company

Hooliganism: Send their mindless brainwash drones to harass voters who publicly declared they will not vote WP during GE2011

Lies: PEH penly lied about taking name out of NCMP vote just so he could get better credibility during By-election

Broken Promises: Claim to slap government if they fall asleep. Hawkers have to get government to slap them for overcharging cleaning of ceiling

Vote Rigging: Force resident to vote for upgrading else they have no access to LCD TV lucky draw

Hypocrisy: Pritam Singh told shopholders who are concern about the drinking ban affect their business that he will raise it in Parliament. Change his mind in Parliament and support PAP's stand on Alcohol Ban. Later on blog about how government is racist coz they ban alcohol in Little India

Plagiarism and lack of ideas: CSM and PS shamelessly copy other pple's work and pass it off as their own

Million Dollar Joke: Before GE2011, accuse ministers of high salary. During Ministerial debate post-GE2011, support million dollar minister pay

Anti-Freedom of Speech: No comment for every issue they are asked.

This is only when they control 1 GRC and 2 SMC. Imagine how fast they will be ruining the country if they take over

I love such fill in the blanks, because I can do them with much less effort and words.

Using Police against resident: arresting hundreds of people under ISA for different views

Greed: Million dollar salaries and directorships for retired MPs

Nepotism: Father and son have been prime ministers

Hooliganism: Supporters issuing rape threats to NSP poster girl

Lies: Swiss standard of living

Broken Promises: Restoring CPF

Vote Rigging: Force resident to vote for them or else they have no access to upgrading

Hypocrisy: Feeling rich when they look at their CPF statement

Plagiarism and lack of ideas: Stealing countless ideas from WP and SDP manifestoes

Million Dollar Joke: Being the highest paid in the world

Anti-Freedom of Speech: Sued countless of opposition politicians for defamation

No la. The PAP kidnap someone from IHM in a van, drove to WP, open the door and let her loose.

 

[Equalisation]

No wonder they downsizing the poodle force. Why waste taxpayers money on oppo? Haven't we paid enought for those few sitting in Parliment? Their only job is to keep the PAPies entertained.

 

[GoldenDragon]

Occupational hazard. More for Opposition MPs than PAP ones. Black ops may be in progress.

 

[Rogue Trader]

Huh! Then it's time Sammyboy unleashed some of our own IMH alumni to attend PAP meet the MP sessions....
