The 26-year-old man faced seven charges, including voluntarily causing hurt, theft and breaching a personal protection order. He pleaded guilty to two charges on Oct 23 and was sentenced to 14 weeks’ jail, according to Shin Min Daily News. Court proceedings revealed that the woman had obtained a personal protection order against her husband on June 28, 2022, prohibiting him from using violence against her. ## Man punched wife on the mouth On Feb 11, 2025, the man was informed by his wife that their then four-year-old son had suffered an epileptic seizure. The couple took the boy to hospital, where doctors at the emergency department initially advised that he could be discharged after his examination. However, the medical team later decided that further checks were needed for a lump on the boy’s head and asked for him to be admitted. The man grew furious and got into a heated argument with his wife. When she tried to cover his mouth with her hand during the row, he punched her in the mouth. He was arrested by the police but subsequently released on bail. ## Wife asked to remarry On Nov 27, 2025, the woman learnt from a friend that her husband suspected her of being unfaithful. Angry at the allegation, she arranged to meet him to confront him about it on Dec 27, 2025, at Block 415 Serangoon Central. In addition to discussing the matter, the couple also had sex at the stairwell before getting into another argument. When the woman told her husband that she no longer had feelings for him and wanted to marry someone else, he allegedly lost his temper. He grabbed her by the neck, pushed her away and held tightly onto both her hands while aggressively questioning her. The woman eventually managed to escape and ran to a nearby MRT station to seek help from staff. The man was arrested again following the incident. ## Helplines ## Family violence - National Anti-Violence & Sexual Harassment Helpline: 1800-777-0000 (24 hours) - Aware Helpline: 1800-777-5555 (weekdays, 10am to 6pm) - Care Corner Project StART: 6476 1482 (weekdays 10am-1pm, 2pm-5pm; except public holidays) - Touch Family Support: 6317 9998 ## Mental well-being - National helpline: 1771 (24 hours) / 6669-1771 (via WhatsApp) - Samaritans of Singapore: 1-767 (24 hours) / 9151-1767 (24 hours CareText via WhatsApp) - Singapore Association for Mental Health: 1800-283-7019 - Silver Ribbon Singapore: 6386-1928 - Chat, Centre of Excellence for Youth Mental Health: 6493-6500/1 - Women’s Helpline (Aware): 1800-777-5555 (weekdays, 10am to 6pm) - The Seniors Helpline: 1800-555-5555 (weekdays, 9am to 5pm) ## Counselling - Touchline (Counselling): 1800-377-2252 - Touch Care Line (for caregivers): 6804-6555 - Counselling and Care Centre: 6536-6366 - We Care Community Services: 3165-8017 - Shan You Counselling Centre: 6741-9293 - Clarity Singapore: 6757-7990 Online resources - mindline.sg/fsmh - eC2.sg - tinklefriend.sg - chat.mentalhealth.sg - carey.carecorner.org.sg (for those aged 13 to 25) - limitless.sg/talk (for those aged 12 to 25) - shanyou.org.sg
