was sentenced on Tuesday to reformative training for a year.
Chua, who is completing his national service, had come to know an unlicensed moneylender in March 2020.He took a loan of S$800 but was unable to repay the instalment sums that followed, so he took up work to harass other debtors in order to pay off the loans. He went to the first flat in the wee hours of Apr 6, where he locked the gate and wrote"O$P$" on the wall, before heading to a second flat and committing similar offences.His lawyer, Ng Shi Yang from the Criminal Legal Aid Scheme Fellowship, had urged the court to assess if Chua was suitable for reformative retraining.
The lawyer said the case has had a sobering and maturing effect on Chua,"owed in no small part to the media exposure", and said Chua was"deeply embarrassed by the national attention on his actions".
