TWO years ago, Koh Kim Swee, now 23, hit his mother on the head with a hammer and was jailed 15 months. The unrepentant son hurt her again two months ago. He slashed his 49-year-old mother's forehead with a 19cm-long knife along the common corridor outside their flat at Jurong East Street 21 on March 18 - over a trivial matter.
There is a lot of violence cases appearing in the news recently. The actions of this 23 year old, barely a man, is very wrong. Even though I do not know the whole story and the mother might be at fault too. I believe that a man should never lay a finger on a woman unless it is for self protection. It is not right to do it to anyone and let alone your own mother. This man clearly has no respect for his own mother as he had hurt her twice. I am glad that he have received the rightful punishment as he was jailed 30 months and ordered to be caned six strokes. I hope that he would reflect upon himself when he is in prison and be a better man when he is released.
