SINGAPORE — A woman who hit a neighbour with a mop until its aluminium handle broke into three pieces, and told her own teenage son she was going to kill his father in his sleep, has been sentenced to jail. Jessinta Tan Suat Lin, 50, was sentenced to four weeks' jail and fined $4,600 on Feb 11. Her lawyer said she suffers from anxiety and depression, but she was found to be unsuitable for a mandatory treatment order. Such an order mandates psychiatric treatment for offenders with mental health conditions in lieu of a jail term. District Judge Crystal Goh said a psychiatrist found that Tan's conditions did not have a contributory link to her offences. Tan had admitted on Jan 2 to three charges — one each for committing a rash act, voluntarily causing hurt and harassment. Two other charges, for harassment and another rash act, were taken into consideration in sentencing. The housewife is a former journalist who previously worked with news platforms, including Today.

SINGAPORE — Bidadari residents are divided over the fate of four stray dogs in the neighbourhood park, after the National Parks Board (NParks) said it would remove the pack from the area for public safety. Since Bidadari Park opened in September 2024, some 50 park-goers have complained of the dogs' «territorial behaviour», prompting the authority to intervene, said an NParks spokesperson on Feb 10. Trappers are in the process of «humanely capturing» the dogs, said NParks, adding that it would work closely with animal welfare groups to manage the animals after they are caught. Options include fostering and finding new homes for them, it said. But residents are in two minds about the move. Some are appealing for the animals — likely the mix-breed Singapore Special dogs — to stay, saying the stress of eviction would kill the old and unusually skittish canines. An online petition to save them has over 3,000 signatures. Others, who were at the park on the evening of Feb 10 when The Straits Times visited, said the «big dogs» were frightening, with «fierce» barks and a habit of chasing people — a hazard that should be removed.
