SINGAPORE - The 16-year-old behind the racial attack of a Singaporean, then a student in London, was sentenced on Wednesday (Jan 27) to an 18-month youth rehabilitation order.
A British court also ordered the teenager to follow a curfew from 8pm to 7am which will be electronically monitored and pay £600 (S$1,000) compensation to Mr Jonathan Mok, whose injuries from the attack had to be treated with facial surgery.
On Feb 24 last year, Mr Mok, 23, then a final year University College of London (UCL) law student, was told "we don't want your coronavirus in our country" and beaten up in Oxford Street in an "unprovoked attack", the court heard.
