The man and his victims got into an argument because they felt he had been rude when they approached him at a Xiaomi store. He later chanced upon them elsewhere in the mall and attacked them after losing his temper.
SINGAPORE: While working as a salesperson at Waterway Point, Goh Wei Yew got into an argument with a couple who felt he was being rude.
The court heard that he was working at the Xiaomi store at the Punggol mall on Aug 21, 2023, when the couple approached him to ask about Xiaomi televisions. While he was on the escalator going from Basement 1 to Level 1 of the mall, he chanced upon the couple taking the escalator in the opposite direction.
Enraged by this, he grabbed her head and slammed it on a wall at the shop’s entrance. He then punched the back of her head, causing her to fall to the ground. The assault only stopped when two passers-by intervened by holding Goh back and escorting him from the shop. Goh, who did not have a lawyer, apologised for what he had done and asked for a lenient sentence so he could start afresh. He has also paid the victims’ medical bills.
