A man who slashed actor Ryan Lian over a staring incident outside Singapore’s NEX shopping centre was sentenced to nine months’ jail on Friday. Aaron Samuel Yukon, a 22-year-old Singaporean, pleaded guilty to one count of causing grievous hurt. A second charge of possessing a karambit (curved blade) knife was taken into consideration. The court heard that the victim, Lian Yong Yi, better known as Ryan Lian, was smoking near the sheltered walkway outside NEX shopping plaza in Serangoon Central at about 6.10pm on November 22 last year.   Yukon, who was a stranger to Lian, went to the same location to smoke soon after. The two men were annoyed with each other for staring, and a verbal confrontation ensued, the prosecutor said.   A fight broke out and they fell to the ground. As they punched each other and struggled, Yukon reached into his pouch and retrieved a sheathed karambit knife. He used the weapon to attack Lian. Yukon later managed to break free and ran away. Lian waited at the scene and realised that his face was bleeding. Two off-duty paramedics attended to him and he was later taken to hospital by ambulance. His injuries included fractures and lacerations on his face, bruises over his forehead and abrasions. The prosecution sought nine to 11 months’ jail for Yukon, noting that the victim was discharged two days after he was admitted against medical advice, which means his injuries warranted a longer hospitalisation stay. Yukon had attacked a vulnerable part of the victim’s body, and the altercation occurred in public, the prosecutor said. Yukon also previously committed offences of voluntarily causing hurt, but the prosecutor noted that this was not a case where the accused attacked an “unassuming, innocent bystander”.   In mitigation, Haneef Abdul Malik from Trident Law sought at most seven-and-a-half months’ jail for Yukon, saying it was the other party who instigated the confrontation. Haneef said the victim held on to his client “incessantly to the extent that he was restrained and unable to break free despite strenuous attempts”. “As a result of the stranger’s provocation, he felt that he had no choice but to hit [him] with the hilt of a karambit … in order to escape from the stranger’s persisting hold,” the lawyer said. He added that Yukon did not realise until later that the sheath of the karambit had fallen off. He added that Yukon was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as a child and that behavioural impulsivity is a core ADHD symptom, increasing the risk of criminality. Haneef said that on that day, his client was with a friend when he noticed two men looking at them. When his client and his friend were about to walk past the two men, one of them accosted Yukon’s friend in a hostile manner and started aggressively shouting in Mandarin, to the effect of “what what”. In the ensuing altercation, Lian shouted at Yukon and asked him: “Then you … you got problem or not.” Yukon also suffered severe injuries on his left hand and arm, the lawyer said. For voluntarily causing grievous hurt, he could have been jailed for up to 10 years and fined or caned. Lian is known for his roles in Ah Boys To Men 4 and Money No Enough 3. Yukon was previously arrested after being filmed attempting to pry open an electronic lock of a home in Telok Blangah.   In that incident, police confirmed they arrested one person under the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act after receiving a report.

A Paya Lebar condominium resident has made a police report over alleged verbal abuse by her neighbour. Stomper KN wants to share the "deeply distressing" case of ongoing racial harassment. "For the past two months, my immediate neighbour who shares the same lift corridor has repeatedly shouted racial slurs at us, especially when my three-year-old child speaks while walking through the corridor," said the Stomper, a Singapore permanant resident who has lived in the condo for nine years.   "The neighbour also becomes verbally abusive whenever children visit our home." The mother of a three-year-old boy shared a Sept 16 video of the family returning home and the neighbour can be heard shouting: "F***ing selfish, your child can scream, people's child cannot scream." The Stomper said: "We have been extremely careful not to cause disturbance - keeping our voices low, avoiding the corridor and even taking the fire exit to prevent confrontation. Despite this, the verbal abuse has continued.   "Although I do not have direct video evidence, several mothers and children have personally witnessed these incidents on multiple occasions, including during one recent instance where the shouting caused children to cry." The most recent incident was on Nov 2 and she said that she has made a police report, which the police confirmed in response to a query by Stomp. The Stomper added: "The MCST has also been informed, and I have requested mediation, but the neighbour has refused to participate."   She said the situation has caused tremendous emotional distress. "I no longer feel safe in my own home and have had to teach my toddler not to speak outside the house out of fear," lamented the Stomper. "I am genuinely afraid this could escalate into a serious incident - similar to the tragic Yishun case where an innocent life was lost. My only wish is to keep my child and myself safe until we move out in two months when our lease ends. "I hope by sharing this, more awareness can be brought to families who silently endure such harassment and the importance of stronger protection for residents facing racial abuse in private estates." The Yishun case refers to the killing Ms Nguyen Phuong Tra, 30, at Block 323 Yishun Central on Sept 24. Koh Ah Hwee, 66, was charged for her murder. The neighbours were believed to have been in the midst of trying to resolve their differences over noise complaints when the woman was killed. The Ministry of Law and Ministry of National Development said in a joint statement on Sept 27 that Ms Tra had applied for mediation with her neighbour in June. But it did not proceed because Koh did not respond.
