Zachary Chung Wei Yik was sentenced to one week in jail for punching and kicking his ex-girlfriend at her own home after she left the nightclub, where she worked, with the other man.
New: You can now listen to articles.SINGAPORE: A 26-year-old man was on Wednesday sentenced to one week in jail for punching and kicking his ex-girlfriend at her own home out of jealousy.
Defence counsel James Ow Yong argued this meant Chung's identity would also be protected, as the victim could be identified through her romantic association with him. In the early hours of Sep 12, 2023, Chung was drinking with friends at the club where the victim worked when he saw another patron buy flowers for her.
Chung then came out of the lift holding the key. He started punching and kicking his ex-girlfriend, including in her face and head. Chung drove her to the hospital to get treatment, and she was admitted for monitoring. The assault was reported by the doctor who attended to her. He said that while Chung made restitution of about S$1,600 for the victim's medical expenses, which totalled more than S$2,400, he only did so after she told him she did not have enough money to pay for them.
