An officer of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) came under fire (haha...) when he was dragged to court over a case of road rage.
29-year-old firefighter Hirahman Ramli pleaded guilty to literally butting heads with another motorist during an altercation at an SPC petrol station along Bukit Panjang Ring Road, The Straits Times reports.
Last August, Hirahman honked at 31-year-old Yam Kian Wing for allegedly cutting into his lane at a cross junction nearby, and they both exchanged gestures, which we assume aren't ones that you'd show in front of children.
The two then stopped at petrol station and started yelling at each other, before they took their fight outside the premises at the suggestion of Hirahman, where there weren't any CCTV cameras capturing the incident.
Hirahman then headbutted Yam and punched him in the head, as the latter tried to protect himself. The inflamed firefighter then left the scene before the police arrived, and Yam was conveyed to the hospital with a broken finger and other injuries.
In court, Hirahman was slapped with a sentence of two weeks in jail for his offence. The SCDF mentioned that they'll be looking into the case to determine if Hirahman — a personnel of over six years — should be allowed to continue on as a public officer.
After all, the fire you kindle for your enemy often burns yourself more than them.
