SINGAPORE – Lawyer Samuel Seow Theng Beng prodded the forehead of one of his subordinates twice with his finger and caused her pain, in an incident that took place at his law firm in 2018.
At the time, he was upset with her over work she had not completed.
Minutes later and still angry, he assaulted a second woman – a female lawyer working at the firm – after she failed to inform him of the whereabouts of the company’s associate director.
A district court heard that he slapped Ms Brenda Kong Shin Ying, who is also his niece, on both her cheeks and the top of her head.
Seow pleaded guilty in court on Monday (July 27) to one count each of assaulting Ms Kong, 26, and using criminal force on Ms Rachel Kang Pei Shan, 21.
A harassment charge and a second charge of using criminal force will be considered during sentencing.
The court heard that the 47-year-old Singaporean owned companies including Samuel Seow Law Corporation and talent agency Beam Artistes.
