Wah, the MP come to the temple to give ang bao, the crazy old man didn’t receive ang bao so set him up on fire! What is this world coming to?
Is the old man really so poor, as to feel so disgruntled that he didn’t receive the $200 red packet? Or is he mentally unstable?
SINGAPORE : Member of Parliament (MP) for Yio Chu Kang, Seng Han Thong, is in hospital with 10 per cent burns after a man poured flammable liquid on him and set him on fire on Sunday.

It is believed that a 70-year-old man approached the MP and Mr Aw from behind, poured the flammable liquid on them and set them on fire using a lighter.
A caller to the MediaCorp Hotline, Mr Zhang, said: “A man ran in, lit a bottle of kerosene and threw it at Mr Seng. Half of Mr Seng’s hair was burnt…his back suffered burns as well. The man who threw the bottle tried to escape, but some people caught him and brought him to the CC.”
Police have arrested the assailant.
Temple officials said the man was disgruntled for not being selected to receive the hong bao containing S$200.
