SINGAPORE: A 25-year-old Singaporean man was charged on Wednesday (Dec 14) for two counts of animal cruelty, after he allegedly caused the death of a cat in Tampines.

Fajar Ashraf Fajar Ali is accused of throwing the cat down six storeys from Block 884, Tampines Street 83 at about 1.40am on May 26. Nearly an hour later, at 2.30am, Fajar allegedly slammed the cat’s body on the ground twice.

A witness said Fajar had also burned the cat with a lighter.

The grey feline was found dead at the block with blood oozing from its mouth, according to the Cat Welfare Society.

Fajar was arrested on May 31. In court on Wednesday, he said he would plead guilty to the two charges on Jan 9.

Channel NewsAsia understands that Fajar works as a bar supervisor.

Under the Animals and Birds Act, first-time offenders found guilty of animal cruelty can be fined up to S$15,000, jailed up to 18 months, or both. For subsequent offences, the maximum fine is S$30,000 or a jail term of up to three years, or both.

Advice for Flat Buyers

13Applicants are strongly advised to apply for a BTO flat in non-mature towns to enjoy a higher chance of success in securing a flat. Although the SBF flats have a shorter waiting time to completion, the number of units in each town is small, and is likely to attract high application rates.

14Regular updates on the number of applications submitted for the various flat types/towns will be published on the HDB InfoWEB. Applicants are advised to check for updates before submitting their application.
