There is a clear line between being frustrated or disappointed and being violent. The thrown chair could have killed somebody.
Mrs Lim Hwee Hua, in response to query on why she did not accept the handwritten letter of apology from the 17-year old boy who threw a chair against a window at an MPS. (Straits Times, 7 May)

Im puzzled, so did the teenager throw the chair or slam the chair? Was it a door or the window? Or do our MPs have cognitive associative disorder? I agree Ms Lim, but can you please decide what to charge him with? Attempted murder or treason? Is it that hard to distinguish between these? Please make up your mind.

The case: A 17 year-old teenager has been reported to the police for possible intimidation/act of violence against a public servant. The clean-shaven teenager went with his mother to a meet-the-MP session to seek financial aid. The teenager has allegedly slammed a chair against a glass door when they were questioned by Ms Cynthia Phua (standing in for Mrs Lim Hwee Hua, MP of Aljunied GRC who was err, supposed to be overseas).

The family has apparently been on public assistance for quite some time. The mother claimed that she injured her wrist while working as a cleaner. The boy apparently suffers from thalassemia.
