On 25 November 2016, at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, Singapore, during a heated argument, Ahmad Muin bin Yaacob, a 23-year-old Malaysian cleaner, killed his 54-year-old supervisor Maimunah binte Awang by stabbing her with a pair of grass cutters and bludgeoning her on the head repeatedly. He stole Maimunah's jewellery and abandoned her body in a drain before he fled back to his hometown in Pasir Puteh, Kelantan, Malaysia. He pawned some of the jewellery for money to afford his wedding expenses. Ahmad was arrested by the Royal Malaysia Police a month later on 18 December 2016, merely nine days after his marriage. Ahmad was extradited back to Singapore the next day to be charged with intentional murder. On 4 November 2020, Ahmad was found guilty of a lesser charge of murder (without an intention to kill) in his trial and he was sentenced to the minimum sentence of life imprisonment and eighteen strokes of the cane, after the prosecution agreed to not argue for the death penalty in his case.[1]
