A Chinese father and son were each jailed for 10 weeks in Singapore after assaulting a Malaysian man over a failed business investment deal worth at least S$18,000.

PETALING JAYA: A business deal that reportedly went sour allegedly led to the assault of a Malaysian man in Singapore.

Two Chinese nationals, a father and son, were sentenced to 10 weeks’ imprisonment yesterday after pleading guilty to assaulting the man, The Straits Times reported.

Court documents stated that the father and son, Gao Yong and Gao Zhenhan, planned to start a business in Singapore and were introduced to the 35-year-old Malaysian earlier this year as someone seeking investors.
