SINGAPORE — Following a dispute over an uncooked egg in his takeaway porridge order, Charles Law Chang Teck threw the scalding hot food at the stall owner who had prepared it, leaving her with first and second-degree burns.

The 38-year-old Singaporean was sentenced to 12 weeks’ jail on Monday for his actions on Feb 1, 2020.

He then stated that if she was not happy about working, she should not work. She replied that she was not working there but was instead the stall owner. The witness stayed at the scene till paramedics arrived, and observed many people trying to help Mdm Chew. By May last year, a doctor noted that there was no significant scarring and her skin texture was normal.Deputy Public Prosecutor Magdalene Huang, who sought at least five months’ jail, said she had already taken into consideration a psychiatric report which stated that Law was diagnosed with an intermittent explosive disorder.

Nevertheless, the judge further noted that under the law, offenders who voluntarily cause hurt with a heated substance cannot be sentenced to a mandatory treatment order.
