Justice!!!!!

Please read Singapore's Straits Times - Home page H2 today.

For those who do not have a copy of the newspaper, let me summarise it for you.

A Mr. Pam Teck Soon, aged 31 was sentenced to 1 week in jail and fine S$3000.00. His crime?

His fiancee, a Ms. Janice Ong was bitten by her brother's dog, a Siberian Husky called Chewie while trying to feed him. Mr. Pam got angry, went to a leashed Chewie and struck him with a bamboo pole. The beating was so severe that Chewie howled in pain and neighbours had to shout at Mr. Pam Teck Soon to get him to stop.

What is not stated in the papers - Chewie had a broken leg and had to have an operation done. He had to be sent to another friend's place for 3 months for recuperation. The fee of S$2400 that Chewie's owner wanted Mr. Pam to pay does not include the TCL given by 'nursing home' services, as well as future supplements. And contrary to the newspaper report - the bugger DID NOT pay the full sum!!!


And Mr. Pam's lawyer said that the owner only reported 4 months after the abuse just because Mr. Pam missed one payment. That is soooo not true. Initially the owner did not want to report to AVA due to family relations. But that Mr. Pam shown no remorse, and even sent nasty, threatening sms to owner, and even hanged up the phone when owner called him. He even went to the extend to say that he can easily buy another dog. (so what's with Chewie? abandoned or put to sleep??). And Mr. Pam, if you serious about your girlfriend, should you have shown some respect to your 'future' bro-in-law? *poooh... spit saliva on Pam's face*



And the 'weapon' used by Mr. Pam - bamboo pole, was broken after the beating. if you have the article with you, the top left and right has pictures of the broken pole.

Yes, Chewie is quite unpredictable cos he bites, but then he was adopted, and we have no way of knowing what the previous owner did to him as a puppy. And beating him so severely is not justified. As AVA prosecuting office - Mr. Yap Teck Chuan said, " Throughout the beating, the dog was tied to a grille and at the mercy of the accused without any way of defending itself... This is cruelty at its extreme."

And Judge Bala Reddy said..."the accused use of excessive force was widely disproportionate to what the dog did."

As much as I don't enjoy Chewie's company (see link), I felt sad that he had to go through this. When we first heard the news, HC and company were so mad that they wanted to go over and gave Mr. Pam a severe beating. But they decided not to cos it's a family affair, and they do not want to make things difficult for the owner. We were hoping for justice, and we got it!!!! Of course, it would have been better if the jail term is longer, but at least now he has a police record.

If this happens to us, I am sure HC will not be as easy to pacify as Chewie's owner.

Now we all know that bugger's name - PAM TECK SOON. Beware of this person when you next see him.

I hope when he is in jail, all forms of pests will descend upon him (lice on his head, groin and armpit, *itch itch*, cockroaches and rats crawling all over him, bed bugs bit him when lying on the cold jail bed) and when he steps out of jail, i hope some pack of strays will attack him (and run away quick) so severely he couldn't identify himself (or the strays).

And a personal note from HC to Ms. Janice Ong (Mr. Pam's fiance) - what are you thinking ?? Leaving your home to stand by this man who abuse animals??? There are plenty of other nicer men around! THINK, WOMAN, THINK!

We had resist blogging about this as the case was not finalised. But now it is a relief that we could!


I'll leave you a picture of Chewie after his surgery.
