Just because he was deemed to be a bad worker, a 65-year-old coffee shop worker had his scalp, face, neck and chest chemically burned when a corrosive concoction was poured upon his back.
He spent 38 days in hospital and underwent multiple operations, and now will have to go for regular follow-up sessions at the plastic surgery clinic and the eye clinic. Already partially blinded by the shocking attack, he might even lose his sight completely.
All because 62-year-old Lim Yeow Heng wanted to teach him a lesson for having a "poor work attitude", Channel NewsAsia reports.
