sentenced to six weeks’ jail<\/a><\/span> after he pleaded guilty to three charges, including two counts of harassment.<\/p>\nDeputy Public Prosecutor Xavier Tan said Yang did not actually intend to stab the boss.<\/p>\n
The DPP said that Yang was at a Ghim Moh multistorey carpark shortly before 10.30am on Oct 22, 2024 when he contacted the Singapore Police Force’s found and unclaimed property office.<\/p>\n
A woman, identified in court documents as V1, took his call. He told her that he wanted to check if anybody had returned his belongings.<\/p>\n
Yang became angry when she asked for a report number, and replied: “You expect me to investigate the case?”<\/p>\n
V1 tried to calm him, but an agitated Yang then told her: “You don’t call me back by today, I will… bring (a knife and) go and kill people… Now I go to (the boss’) house and stab him!”<\/p>\n
Yang hung up the phone soon after.<\/p>\n
Minutes later, he went to a nearby coffeeshop and called the Jurong Police Division.<\/p>\n
A police officer, V2, answered the call, and Yang said that he wanted to speak with “IO Banson”.<\/p>\n
Confused, V2 asked for a report number.<\/p>\n
An angry Yang replied: “Within 15 minutes, I can reach the (man’s) house and stab him. If I never find him there, I will go to his workplace, I will stab him.”<\/p>\n
Yang hung up, but around 10.45am, he called Auto Lease’s office and spoke to one of its employees, V3.<\/p>\n
The offender told V3 to return his items from the repossessed car.<\/p>\n
He also told the employee that if his items were not returned to him by 2pm, he would take a knife to the company’s office and “chop someone”.<\/p>\n
He hung up the phone, and an alarmed V3 alerted the police.<\/p>\n
An investigation officer later contacted Yang, and convinced him to go to Bukit Timah Shopping Centre for a meeting at around 2pm. Officers arrested him when he arrived.<\/p>\n
On Oct 31, the court heard that Yang will be appealing against his sentence, and his bail was set at $15,000.<\/p>\n
