Jun 1, 2010
IN THE wake of a spate of slashings at Kallang over the weekend, another man was fatally stabbed yesterday evening at PoMo, along Selegie Road.

Mr Sitoh Woon Chee, 59, was leaving for home after work at about 6.45pm when he was knifed to death. He was a part-time employee of Singapore Pools, whose job was to announce lottery results.

Mr Sitoh's wife, visibly distraught and helped by a group of people, arrived at the scene at about 9pm. She was later taken into the Pools office, accompanied by a group of relatives.

A company spokesman said the police were notified shortly after the incident.

The Straits Times understands that the attacker had tried to escape but was eventually caught by the police. Police are still investigating the case.

It is also not clear if the incident is related to the slashings at Kallang, which left one dead and three injured.

I think with the casinos now, the crime rate will def go up. Prostitution, money lender, gangs will all thrive. Not forgetting those who lost big time might resort to crimes.

Casinos have pros and cons. I guess these will seriously considered by "ppl up there" before they decided.

Whoa! What occurred in Kallang was worse.
A group of 5-7 cleaners from Sarawak conspired and went on their crime spree, kill and slash just to steal mobile phones and $400.
Now caught and facing death penalty.
Some more 2 of them were caught upon re-entry to Singapore!
They actually managed to leave the country and yet came back!
No offense intended, but what the hell were they thinking by coming back?!

They think Singapore is a gold mine...
