A 48-year-old woman, Su Zhihui (transliterated from Mandarin), has been sentenced to slightly over nine weeks in jail after an argument with her ex-boyfriend led to her throwing hot soup and food at him in a Geylang coffee shop.
The incident occurred on 16 Sept, when Su messaged her 41-year-old ex-boyfriend at 4pm to arrange a meeting.
He arrived at the coffee shop in Lorong 23 at around 6.20pm and ordered a meal, according to Shin Min Daily News.

She had taken a small suitcase containing numerous items.
Later that morning, she took clothes and bags valued at S$470.30 from another shop in the airport.
She then trespassed into another area of the airport with the intent to harrass a manager.
The police later arrested her after reviewing CCTV footage, recovering items worth S$3,037 from her dormitory.
She claimed to have stolen the goods as she was short on money.
Due to this, the court took her two counts of theft and trespassing into consideration for sentencing.
On 28 Oct, Su was sentenced to nine weeks and three days in jail for her offences.
