Indian Woman Assaulted and Mistreated by a Chinese-Origin Man in Singapore

During Covid-19, an Indian woman was verbally insulted and kicked in the chest while briskly making her way to work by a Singaporean guy of Chinese descent who did not properly wear his mask. In May 2021, Wong Xing Fong, 32, assaulted Madam Hindocha Nita Vishnubhai, 57, in the vicinity of the Northvale apartment complex in Choa Chu Kang.

Wong, who was found guilty on Tuesday, is scheduled to be punished on July 31 for assaulting Vishnubhai by kicking her in the chest and hurting her sentiments, according to The Straits Times newspaper. Vishnubhai testified that while wearing her mask down and briskly heading toward Choa Chu Kang stadium, where she worked at a fast-food restaurant, she heard yelling.

She turned around and saw Wong with Chua Yun Han, his fiancée. They instructed her to cover up even though she didn’t know the pair. One activity that was excluded from wearing a mask over the mouth and nose was brisk walking.

According to the prosecution, Vishnubhai explained to the couple that she was briskly walking and made gestures to show that she was working out and perspiring while doing so. The accuser berated (and verbally humiliated) the complainant. The prosecution continued, “The complainant said, “God bless you,” which helped to defuse the situation.

However, the accuser kicked the complainant in the chest region. The two of them then started to run away. According to Vishnubhai’s testimony, an onlooker assisted her in standing up and dressed a gash on her left forearm with plaster. That night, she made a police complaint.

According to the prosecution, the eyewitness, who had no connection to either side, claimed to have seen a guy kicking the woman. The prosecution defended Vishnubhai as a trustworthy witness and said that it is preposterous to infer that the complainant mysteriously fabricated the accused, a stranger.

Vishnubhai, according to Wong, was rude and belligerent and yelled insults at him. She allegedly spat at him and his fiancée, and he pushed the victim in response. He acknowledged using vulgarities, but he refuted accusations that they were racist slurs.

However, the prosecution said that Wong and his fiancée’s actions fatally refuted any claim that Vishnubhai spit at him.
