Retired Singaporean actor says Bangladeshi employee he allegedly assaulted ‘could have hurt himself’
The Straits Times, Singapore :
On the second day of his trial on Tuesday morning, retired local actor-director Ng Aik Leong (better known as Huang Yiliang), asked doctors if it was possible that the Bangladeshi employee he is accused of hitting could have “hurt himself accidentally” in a “struggle”. Ng (59) is accused of voluntarily causing hurt to one Jahidul, a Bangladeshi who worked for him, by using a metal scraper with a wooden handle-hitting him twice on the abdomen and once on the head.
The incident occurred at the Singapore Islamic Hub (SIH) in Braddell Road at around 4:20pm on December 11, 2018, and allegedly resulted in an injury to Jahidul’s scalp and an abrasion on his upper abdomen.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Chong Kee En called two witnesses to the stand on Tuesday morning: Adjunct Associate Professor Dr Heng Wei Jian Kenneth, who is a senior consultant in the emergency department at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), as well as Dr Heah Ya Ting Charmain, an associate consultant in emergency medicine at TTSH, both of whom attended to Jahidul.
Dr Heng testified that the injuries he saw on the victim were consistent with those listed in court documents. He said that when asked how much pain he was experiencing, Jahidul had rated the pain he felt as a “four out of 10”.
