For voluntarily causing hurt, Sim could have been jailed up to seven years, fined, or caned, or with any combination of these punishments. — TODAY picSINGAPORE, Oct 16 — Unhappy with another food delivery rider who wrongly thought that Sim Wei Jie was following him, Sim took a small kitchen knife from his home to attack the rider, who suffered a 5cm-deep cut on his right forearm.
The court heard that Sim was working as a food delivery rider when he encountered the victim, Lim Yee Seng, who was also a food delivery rider, on the evening of Jan 2 this year.Investigations revealed that Lim, 37, was riding around the Ang Mo Kio area performing his deliveries when he noticed Sim on his electric bicycle.When Lim stopped at the Ang Mo Kio Hub taxi stand, he approached Sim to ask why he was following him, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Jason Chua.
A short while later, after collecting a food order, Lim saw Sim waiting by his electric bicycle parked nearby.Sim had chosen to return to the sheltered area at Block 322 with Lim because he knew that there were no closed-circuit television cameras at that location, DPP Chua said.Even though Sim’s knife had missed Lim the first time, it cut Lim’s right forearm on the second attempt.
In seeking seven to eight months’ jail with an additional penalty of 72 days’ jail, the prosecution said that Sim had displayed a high level of meditation as he was unhappy with the victim and went back home to arm himself with a knife.
