For him, it will be over in four years.
But I will never be the person I used to be.
This was how Malaysian Kee Yau Chong, 23, compared his situation to that of the man who set him on fire.
In an interview in his third-storey home in Hougang Avenue 6, he said in Mandarin: "Of course, I hate him, but what good will that do? My body and arms will still be burnt. "I can only accept what I've become, that I am now useless."
Kuu Siau Lam, 65, was sentenced to four years' jail on Monday for voluntarily causing grievous hurt to Mr Kee at their workplace, SH Indeco, at Senang Crescent in Bedok on June 11.
Mr Kee had accidentally bumped into Kuu and did not apologise. The two carpenters got into a heated argument. Then Kuu splashed thinner on Mr Kee and set him ablaze.
