In this world, there are normal people, and there are some who are a little crazy, but in a fun way—like adrenaline junkies.
Then there are those who are downright delusional.
Case in point: one man broke the personal protection order taken out against him after getting into an argument with his wife, and then proceeded to accuse the prosecutor of loving his wife.
I kid you not, that actually happened.
Everyone, brace yourself for the sheer absurdity that you’re about to read.
Man Broke Personal Protection Order
In an incident which occurred sometime between 15 March and 18 March this year, 33-year-old Philip Ong Guo Xiong attacked his wife with a back scratcher in anger after an argument with her.
According to TODAYonline, while there were no details on what the argument was about, he had hit her five times with the back scratcher, which caused bruising on both of her arms.
In doing so, he had broken the personal protection order against him. This order had been filed against him back on 18 May 2017 by his wife, 33-year-old Tan Ru Cheung. At the time of the incident, the order was still in effect.
On 11 May 2021, Ong pleaded guilty to two charges—one charge of voluntarily causing hurt and another charge of breaching the personal protection order. He was sentenced to six months’ jail.
For a charge of voluntarily causing hurt, one can be sentenced to up to three years’ jail or fined up to $5,000, or both. For a charge of breaching a personal protection order, one can be sentenced to up to six months’ jail or fined up to $2,000, or both.
According to Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Daniel Ling, Ong has a history of violence. In fact, he already had a past offence of breaking another personal protection order.
Ong was warned that a repeated offence of either charge would find himself back in court and facing heavier penalties.
The Chaotic Court Hearing
During the court hearing, Ong declared that he would not use violence against his wife again. He added that he wanted to “get back into society” and live with his wife.
Woah, hold up. Live with who now?
Perhaps he should first see if his wife would want to live with him again. Somehow, I’m getting the feeling that this is all a very one-sided plan.
Now, ready for the climax? This is where everything reaches peak chaos levels.
From his initial declaration, Ong suddenly veered totally off course and started claiming that there were many men out there who loved his wife.
The prosecutor even got dragged into the accusation, as Ong directed a “Prosecutor, you love my wife, ah? You evil… I see you smiling,” at DPP Ling. He also suspected his wife of having an affair with other men, “like this Mr Ling”.
Oh, the poor prosecutor. Imagine trying to just do your job, only to get dragged like this.
Props to both District Judge Kessler Soh and DPP Ling for remaining professional though, because neither responded to Ong’s accusations.
Ong had also reportedly complained to a court staff member about how unfair the world was, claiming that the girl “always… wins”.
Man Claimed That He Too, Had Been Abused by His Wife
Ah, Ong then proceeded to pull an UNO reverse card on the situation.
Ong also claimed that not only did his wife abuse him, he also had a personal protection order against her. Allegedly, his wife had suspected him of cheating on her with other women too.
Pulling down his lower lip to show his missing front teeth, he claimed that it was the result of his wife abusing him. Referring to his missing teeth, he added that his wife “punch until drop”, and that he had trouble eating because “rice would fall out”.
I know what you’re thinking: this is like some poorly written fiction drama. And you know what? I completely agree.
Well, let’s hope that Ong actually does keep to his word this time, because I don’t think the court staff members would want to deal with him again.
