A man who poisoned his grandma with mercury and stole her money has been jailed for 30mths.
In passing sentence on Friday, District Judge Siva Shanmugam noted that while Er Choon Sian was in need of medical and psychiatrist's assessment that Er knew his actions were wrong.
Er had moved in with his grandma in 1999. Their initial relationship was good, but Er began to feel persecuted by her and developed irrational thoughts in 2005.
Early last year, the 27-year-old unemployed man bought a mercury thermometer and a bottle of mercury, injected the chemical into Mdm Wang Siok Tiang while she was asleep.
She had to be hospitalised after suffering from a swollen left leg, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea and delirium.
Er could have been jailed for up to 10yrs for posioning a person, and up to three and seven yrs jail respectively for stealing and forgery, District Judge Shan-mugam said jail could help Er cope with his disorder.

let me give you a valuable tip: the term "reflection" is academic code for "bloviate" and "make up nonsense; anything goes"...there is no "correct" response. "Reflection" is a way for instructors to get out of crafting a real assignment..take advantage of this, and let your fingers do the b.s. ing

Why would a judge be worried about getting him help? It looks to me like his grandmother could use the help. He moved in with her and was unemployed, and sponged off of her. Then because she said or did something he didn't like he tried to kill her,and stole her money. He doesn't need help, he needs to be locked up, at the very least. He is a scurge on society. We have in the past several years gotten to soft on crime, and have forgotten about the victims. If we punished the guilty,like we should,people who are thinking about a life of crime,just might have second thoughts
