Today my grandparents in their joy decided spontaneously to throw a dinner for me as a sign of their joy for my return as well as obtaining a 2nd upper classification for my degree. Ah. Its been so long since I tasted a properly cooked Malaysian dish. Pleasures and luxury are all at my feet and I am enjoying every moment of them!
Then came the moment when my grandpa started sharing all the stories of what happened among his friends and the people he helped with the connections of his. Of the many stories that he threw out, this one caught my attention like the snap of a finger.
Alright. this man that my grandpa talked about has no good credentials. But the focus is not on him. So here is the story as per how I heard it.
This one particular man, had an affair against his wife with a china doll. The matter went totally out of hand, and he divorced his wife in order to be together with this new girlfriend from china. Originally, he had a really high paying job in Singapore as a chef. His pay was a 5 figure sum. Really really good pay. He then left his job to be with this girl from china. Little did he know that that girl was only all out to spend every single cent he has, which she did. Upon finishing up every single cent on him, she then ordered him to go and rob someone, which he stupidly did.
Being not experienced as being a crook, he panicked so very easily at the first sight of the girl he robbed screaming. What happened next was quite funny. He panicked so hard that he gave the girl back everything he took, but it was too late because the police came and took him into custody.
At the court, he did another really silly thing due to ego. Being to ashamed to approach his parents for help, he decided to enter the trials without legal assistance, thus going to trial without a lawyer.His charges was in fact too high to justify such a move. As I would call it, a typical chinese school brat, he got all too scared in the police interogation and start giving out information to please the police. The police did not intend to play nice with him. The chief got 8 other policeman to give him the "good cop, bad cop" routine without the good cop. The trial ended in him being sentenced to get 6 lashes and 16 years in prison. The police then called his parents and immediate family members to inform them of his being in prison. The family panicked upon hearing as well, and imediately called my grandpa to help them.
Proper legal aid would only help reduce the sentence, but not quash it. The lawyer that my grandpa seeked out to help them did a very "unclean move" He went to the prosecution, and got them to throw of the case through a big bribe. This man is now clean in terms of registration.
The account is very unsettling, and I personally would want the guy dead.
