A man in Singapore, Chia Yin Xiang Harry, was sentenced to two-and-a-half years' jail and 12 strokes of the cane for an attempted robbery with extortion and possessing a knuckleduster. He cursed at NEA officers after discarding a lit cigarette and later tried to rob a cashier with a metal rod.
Chia was outside Tiong Bahru Plaza when NEA officers saw him throw a lit cigarette on the ground. He was uncooperative and cursed at the officers. Months later, he attempted to rob a cashier but eventually left without any money.
The prosecution sought the jail term and caning for Chia, highlighting his lack of regard for lawful authority.
