Ex-actor Huang Yiliang jailed for assaulting worker with metal scraper

SINGAPORE — Former Mediacorp actor Ng Aik Leong, known by his Chinese name as Huang Yiliang, was on Friday (26 February) jailed for 10 months at the State Courts for assaulting an employee with a metal scraper.

Ng, 59, who was found guilty last month after a trial, was also ordered to pay the Bangladeshi victim $3,300 in compensation.

On 11 December 2018, Ng hit Jahidul, who goes by one name, twice on his head and once on the abdomen at the canteen of Singapore Islamic Hub along Bradell Road.

The court earlier heard that Ng had “relentlessly verbally abused” Jahidul for months.

The victim came to Singapore on 14 October 2018 to work for Ng's firm HYL Enterprises and stayed at Ng’s house, sleeping in a room where tools were kept. The company carries out general cleaning services and plumbing works.

Ng would often enter Jahidul’s room at night, turn on the lights and hurl vulgarities at him.

Even though Jahidul indicated he wanted to resign, he felt threatened by Ng’s threat to falsely report him to the Manpower Ministry so that he could never return to Singapore.

Two audio recordings produced in court captured incidents before 11 December 2018 where Ng was also abusive.

One of these recorded an exchange on 26 November 2018, where Ng attempted to kick and attack Jahidul with a hammer, after the worker failed to take a photo of a water tank to his satisfaction. Jahidul ran away from Ng crying and tried to seek help from someone at Sim Lim Square to no avail.

In the other recording, Ng could be heard verbally abusing Jahidul for buying cable ties for 50 cents more.

Injured victim

On 11 December 2018, Ng took a heavy scraper with a 40cm-long wooden handle and a 15cm rusty, sharp metal tip and thrust it at Jahidul.

Ng then brought the scraper over his head and brought it down on Jahidul’s head, causing a bruise on the left of the victim’s scalp.

In his defence, Ng, who did not have a lawyer, said Jahidul would often fake forgetfulness “as if he were a child” and also asked to be hit as part of his learning process.

Ng also claimed that Jahidul asked to be hit under an “agreement” to help him remember “important” things.

“So (Jahidul) acted blur every day, and reminded me to hit him. He will tell me he’s sorry every day, and acted that he was very apologetic,” Ng testified at trial.

The assailant also claimed that the victim was waiting for an opportune moment to call the police so that he could terminate his contract.

Ng could have been jailed for up to seven years and fined.

He will begin his sentence on 15 March.

Ng faces a separate pending charge of fighting with a man, Mogana Raj Saravanan, along Buffalo Road and hitting him on the back of his head with a mobile phone on 9 June last year. The case is at the pre-trial stage.

前演员黄义良因用金属刮刀殴打工人被判入狱

新加坡—前Mediacorp前演员伍克·梁（Ng Aik Leong），其中文名字叫黄义亮，于2月26日星期五（星期五）因用金属刮板殴打一名雇员而被州法院判处10个月监禁。

现年59岁的吴在上个月的一次审判后被判有罪，他还被勒令向孟加拉国受害者支付3,300美元的赔偿。

2018年12月11日，吴宝剑击中贾希杜尔（Jahidul），他的名字被两次抬头，一次是在布拉德路（Bradell Road）的新加坡伊斯兰中心食堂的腹部。

法院早些时候获悉，吴某曾“无情地辱骂”贾希杜尔长达数月之久。

受害人于2018年10月14日来到新加坡为Ng的HYL Enterprises公司工作，并留在Ng的家中，睡在一个存放工具的房间里。该公司进行常规清洁服务和管道工程。

Ng经常会在晚上进入Jahidul的房间，打开灯，向他撒些粗鄙的表情。

即使贾希杜尔（Jahidul）表示他想辞职，但他仍受到吴（Wang Ng）威胁要向人力部虚报他的威胁，以致他永远无法返回新加坡。

法庭录制的两张录音记录了Ng也在2018年12月11日之前的虐待事件。

其中一名记录了2018年11月26日的一次交流，在该工人未能为自己满意的水箱拍照后，吴试图用锤子踢打Jahidul。Jahidul从Ng哭泣中逃脱，试图在Sim Lim Square寻求帮助，但无济于事。

在另一张唱片中，可以听到Ng口头虐待Jahidul，原因是他以50美分以上的价格购买电缆扎带。

受伤的受害者

2018年12月11日，Ng拿起一把厚40厘米长的木柄和15厘米生锈，锋利的金属尖头的重型刮刀，将其推入Jahidul。

Ng然后将刮刀放在他的头上，然后将其放在Jahidul的头上，在受害者的头皮左侧造成瘀伤。

没有辩护人的吴国宝在辩护中表示，贾希杜尔经常会假装健忘“仿佛他还是个孩子”，并要求在学习过程中受到打击。

Ng还声称，贾希杜尔被要求根据一项“协议”遭到殴打，以帮助他记住“重要”的事情。

“所以（Jahidul）每天都表现得很模糊，并提醒我打他。他会告诉我，他每天都感到抱歉，并表示他很抱歉。

袭击者还声称，受害人正在等待适当时机打电话报警，以便终止合同。

Ng可能会被判入狱长达七年并被罚款。

他将于3月15日开始服刑。

Ng面临另一项悬而未决的指控，他必须在布法罗路与一名男子Mogana Raj Saravanan打架，并于去年6月9日用手机打他的头。该案目前处于预审阶段。
