Court heard at the time of the offences, man had custody of his biological son after a divorce with his wife.On then Nov 30, 2022, man learnt son, had been texting mother despite being told to cut off contact, so he angry slapped boy on left/right of his face, caused injury pain in victim’s left ear, then used yellow rubber hose hit boy on upper left arm, back and left thigh, causing multiple bruises. Boy was taken to KK Women’s & Children’s Hospital to treat his injuries.
Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Jocelyn Teo said that the offender also admitted that he had hit the victim on previous occasions. Investigations revealed that at least 3 times in 2022, man also secured the boy’s ankle or wrist to a fixed metal bar in toilet, using a metal chain & padlock.
He would put a rubber hose between the metal chain & victim’s skin to protect him from injury if struggled, & put some food & water in the toilet, leaving the victim there for 2 to 5 hours, man would either sleep or leave home, exposing him to potential danger in case of emergency such as a fire.

DPP Teo said: “Accused did so to punish boy for lying, not doing his homework or not keeping his promise such as not to contact his mother.” Police were alerted to child abuse case by a staff member working with National Anti-Violence Helpline on December 4, 2022. Court documents did not indicate which incident led to the police report.
Seeking a jail term of between 28 and 31 months, the prosecution pointed to the “extensive” injuries suffered by the child & the abuse of position of trust on part of the father as aggravating factors.
Defence counsel Mansur Husain sought a shorter jail term of between 12 and 15 months, describing the term sought by the prosecution as “excessive”. He said that his client is apologetic for his mistakes and pleaded for leniency so that he could put this chapter of his life behind him as soon as possible.
In delivering his decision, District Judge Chay Yuen Fatt described the punishments in the case as “harmful and completely unnecessary”. He added that the defence had also conceded that the offender had crossed the line between disciplining a child and committing these criminal acts.
For each count of ill-treating a child, the man could have been jailed for up to eight years or fined up to S$8,000 (RM27,861), or both. — TODAY
