00:00A security guard has been sentenced to 13 years in jail by the Penang High Court for
00:07murdering his neighbour at an apartment where he was working at in Paya Terubong four years
00:12ago.
00:13The punishment was handed down by High Court Judge Kee Choo Soon after 69-year-old accused
00:19Ong Lai Seng pleaded guilty to murdering 42-year-old Chua Kok Siong at the guardhouse of Desame
00:26Apartments in Persiaran Paya Terubong in December 2020.
00:30Kee said in addition to considering Ong's age and circumstances of the case and that
00:35the murder was not pre-planned but triggered by a fight between two neighbours, Ong would
00:40serve his jail term from the date of arrest and be spared from caning.
00:45It was learnt that the victim was stabbed 10 times at a guard post of the apartment
00:50where Ong worked as a security guard.
00:53The suspect claimed that he stabbed the victim as he could not endure the constant harassment
00:58he received from the victim.
