Man admits assaulting wife over condo sale proceeds, fracturing her ribs The man had sought to attack the victim at three different points, inflicting multiple blows each time. Man admits assaulting wife over condo sale proceeds, fracturing her ribs Au Yong Khin Mun leaves the State Courts on Sep 24, 2025. (Photo: CNA/Syamil Sapari) SINGAPORE: Angered when his wife disagreed with his suggestion to use profits from the sale of their condominium unit to pay off his credit card bills, a man attempted to slap the mother of his children across a table. When she evaded him, the man walked over and hit her multiple times on her head and back before assaulting her with his utensils and flinging her to the ground. The victim fractured her clavicle, ribs and facial bones from the encounter. Au Yong Khin Mun, a 39-year-old Singaporean man, pleaded guilty on Wednesday (Sep 24) to one count of voluntarily causing grievous hurt against a person he was in an intimate relationship with. The court heard that he was married for about five years to his wife, a 38-year-old woman. They have two four-year-old twin daughters and a two-year-old son. At about 9am on Dec 2, 2024, the couple dropped off their twins at a preschool near the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) before heading to the university canteen for a meal. While eating, Au Yong told his wife that he intended to use some of the profits from the sale of a condominium unit they owned to pay off his credit card bills. The victim disagreed, saying all the profits should be used to buy a Housing Board flat instead, so the couple and their children could live on their own instead of with the victim's parents. This upset Au Yong. At about 9.30am, he attempted to slap his wife twice across the table. When his slaps failed to land, he walked over to his wife and hit her five times on the head and four times on her back. When Au Yong returned to his seat, his wife tried to walk away. While her back was to him, Au Yong hit his wife's head with his cup of iced coffee. He struck her head twice with his plate of food, hit her head twice with his hand and kneed her twice in the back. He then grabbed her arms from behind and flung her body to the ground with some force, court documents said. The impact fractured the victim's left clavicle, several ribs and bones around her eyes. The woman lay on the floor in pain but Au Yong did not help her. Instead, he continued to have a "verbal dispute" with her for about one-and-a-half minutes, while bystanders helped her to her feet.
