The wife of a Singapore tycoon accused of slapping a Singapore Airlines stewardess was acquitted by the court on Thursday.
Punishment for voluntarily causing hurt.
323. Whoever, except in the case provided for by section 334, voluntarily causes hurt, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 2 years, or with fine which may extend to $5,000, or with both.
The incident between 61-year-old Tan Siew Hoon and 25-year-old Then Jiamin occurred on board an SIA flight to Tokyo last September. She had slapped the SIA stewardess for allegedly flirting with her husband.

"It's shocking... Although the Section 323 charge could be let off with a warning with the consent of the victim and the public prosecutor, but this is a case of a different nature. I think an SIA stewardess is an icon in Singapore. So, when that kind of person is assaulted, it is an outrage to Singapore," said lawyer R Kalamohan, Kalamohan & Co.

For those people who have money lots of money....
There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money
and nothing else.
and nothing else.

For those who have yet to earn their riches.....
It's easy to have principles when you're rich.
The important thing is to have principles when you're poor.
