SINGAPORE: A 60-year-old man padlocked his mother's tenant in a flat for two-and-a-half hours, only unlocking the gate when the tenant gave him S$100.

The court heard that Lim's mother used to live in the flat as the landlord of the 56-year-old victim. At some point, Lim's mother moved out to stay with her daughter. Lim was not aware of this. Around Aug 20, 2021, he went to his mother's flat and rang the doorbell, but no one responded. According to court documents, Lim knew that his mother's tenant was in the flat and padlocked the gate to get the tenant's attention. He left after no one came to the door.
