Judgement Day: Dave Teo Ming
-
SINGAPORE: 20—year—old national serviceman Corporal Dave Teo Ming, who stole a rifle and ammunition, has been sentenced to nine years, two months in jail and 18 strokes of the cane.
The punishment was for three charges — illegally possessing a stolen army rifle and live bullets, and for carrying a knife in a public place without lawful purpose.
This comes 10 months after his arrest in September last year.
Teo was arrested at Orchard Cineleisure, after he disappeared with the rifle and eight rounds of ammunition from Mandai Hill Camp while on guard duty.
His actions sparked off one of the biggest man—hunts in Singapore.
According to the prosecution, Teo was going to use the rifle to shoot his then girlfriend Crystal, who had broken off with him.
Teo had also admitted to carrying a 40cm—long knife on April 14 last year near Crystal’s home.
Teo’s friend, Ong Boon Jun, who did not report the NSman for possessing the rifle and bullets, had earlier been sentenced to 6—and—a—half years’ jail and six strokes of the cane. His appeal against the sentence was dismissed by the High Court in May this year.
Ong, a 22—year—old pimp, was charged with being in Teo’s company when he had the illegal items. The two of them were together at the Champagne Hotel in Geylang. — CNA/ir

He dun look to be suffering from depression in e first place. I think it is just a tatics by his lawyer to intercede leniency.

Depression is a silent illness. Pretty hard to observe. -
let mi guess.... he not from a rich family right??
come on.. if he is really from some rich family.. he can sure to get a doctor to certified he is mentally ill at that time....judge believe or not is another problem... especially if u get a best doc to cert.. then they sure believe..... just let him stay at hougang chalet for 5 or 10yrs till everyone forgot about him.. then can get out already.....
of cos u will say who will employ an ex siao kia..and his life is over.. but... who will employ an ex convict anyway?? one way or another his life is over... so why suffer in jail plus his butt game over?? right????
JUSTICE.. 9yrs 18 strokes sighz.. bullshit!!!
