Stealing from your employer can come in many different forms.
There’s this guy who was unsatisfied with his salary enough to use printing equipment at his workplace to operate his own printing company at his employer’s expense.
And there’s this guy who stole some shrimp from the fishball noodle stall he was working as a stall assistant at to prepare his own lunch.
Both guys got ratted out by their colleagues, but unfortunately for the female colleague of the stall assistant, the guy happens to have a particularly nasty temper.
A Very Short Fuse Igniting a Very Big Incident
Occurring on 27 April 2021, in a coffee shop at Block 155 Bukit Batok Street 11, a fishball noodle stall assistant, 33-year-old Xie BinBin (谢彬彬), was caught stealing some shrimps to prepare his lunch by his female colleague, the 35-year-old victim, Zhang WenHong (张雯红).
As a result, the colleague reprimanded him and they started arguing.
Apparently, Mr Xie is known to have a terribly hot temper despite only started working there from late March of this year.
He was known to always butt heads with his colleagues.
However, nothing serious occurred during the first altercation.
Later, at 4:20pm the same day, Ms Zhang asked the man whether the customer’s food is ready.
This apparently agitated Mr Xie to the point where he took a kitchen knife and threatened his colleague.
In front of his customers – and, hence, in front of plenty of witnesses – he grabbed a hold of his female colleague’s hair and swung the knife towards her head and neck at least 7 times, causing multiple wounds.
She was bleeding at this point.
Another stall owner saw the incident and quickly grabbed a plastic bin nearby, using it to push the knife-wielding attacker aside.
This made the man loosen his grip and enabled the victim to escape.
Mr Xie then left the knife on a table before quickly leaving the scene of the crime.

The victim was eventually rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Unfortunately for the hot-tempered man though, not only are there lots of witnesses to the crime, everything was also captured on the CCTV, making it easy to establish his case in court.
And justice is swift.
He ended up being sentenced to 18 months in jail with 3 lashes of the cane.
