On 1 September 2019, at a four-room flat in Toa Payoh, 82-year-old Pak Kian Huat (白建发 Bái Jiànfā), alias Pek Kiah Huat, brandished a chopper and attacked his longtime domestic partner Lim Soi Moy (林细妹 Lín Xìmèi), and inflicted a total of 54 injuries on 79-year-old Lim, who died as a result. According to sources, Pak, who first met Lim in the 1950s and had four children with her even though they did not marry, had been unhappy with Lim refusing to let him move into a bigger bedroom and this made him become angry and thus used the chopper on Lim. Pak, who was charged with murder after his arrest, was eventually convicted of manslaughter after reaching a plea bargain, and in May 2023, Pak was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment for the "vicious and brutal" killing of Lim.[1]
