FRUSTRATED that his girlfriend had changed her mind about going to Batam with him last June, school manager Daniel Kok Yee Meng, 32, took a knife and pretended to cut himself on his arm in front of her. When she did not react, he accused her of being interested in another man and slapped her.
Koo Yoke Pei, 30, then a secretary, went into the kitchen, took out another knife and slashed him on the back.
Police were summoned and she was arrested. On Thursday, a district court sentenced Koo to one day in jail and a $5,000 fine.
The divorcee with a nine-year-old daughter and twin sons, aged seven, had pleaded guilty last month. Then, the court heard that Mr Kok was with Koo in her flat in Maude Road in Jalan Besar at about 2am on June 5 last year. They had been at a pub earlier.
The couple had quarrelled, and she told him she was not going to accompany him to visit the Indonesian island of Batam.
The argument then escalated and he flew into a rage and slapped her several times. This time, she reacted. From the kitchen, she took a knife with a 20cm-long blade and slashed him. A medical report from Tan Tock Seng Hospital indicated he had a shallow 15cm-long cut on his back and four to five abrasions on his forearm.

The value or "net worth" of a women depreciate over the years. The rate of depreciation is directly proportional to the age, and the value of a woman is inversely proportional to the age.:)

If you talk about money, yes. -
she did it out of self defence right?
-
too much slashing incident lia0 lar....
tis one should call self defence
-
he should be charged for assult too as he slapped her several times
-
both these idiots deserve each other
-
Koo Yoke Pei is quite chio but too bad she got 3 kids liao
-
i guess the guy got away because she didn't press charges. People who slap normally get slapped when they're young kids. It's a vicious cycle from gen to gen.
-
even if she didn't press charge the police should charge him?
-
he slapped her and thats mitigating circumstances. why wasnt the man charged too.
our law really weird. if he hadnt slapped her she wouldnt have slashed him for nothing right?
-
always check your boyfriend/girlfriend's family background before you even think of marrying him/her
-

-

-
the guy seems unstable and violent..... Seems that weird people work in schools....

Life so complicated.... Sigh. So much suffering people create for themselves
-
