PETALING JAYA: A Malaysian who was handed a jail sentence in New Zealand for pouring a bucket of boiling water over a colleague in 2015 was released from prison and deported in April, a report said today.
According to the New Zealand Herald, Show Kian-Wee, 30, was released on April 3 and deported the following day. He was originally sentenced to five years and seven months in jail.
New Zealand immigration manager Peter Devoy said because Show had been sentenced to five years or more in prison, he was an “excluded person” under Section 15 of the Immigration Act.
“He cannot be granted a visa to return to New Zealand,” he was quoted as saying.
CCTV footage of the July 25, 2015 incident showed Show eating at his table at the staff cafeteria of the pack house of Turners and Growers in Whakatu, New Zealand.
He then got up, filled a bucket with boiling water, and poured it over the head of Bin Wu, a Chinese national on a work visa in New Zealand.
Bin spent a week in hospital as a result of the attack, and was told his burns would take another two years to heal completely.
Show told the parole board in February this year that Bin had eaten food from his partner’s plate. He said he had overreacted and wished to apologise to his victim, the report added.
The board agreed that Show had “completely overreacted” to the situation, but said it was satisfied that he was unlikely to re-offend either in New Zealand or in Malaysia.
According to the report, Show told the board he planned to live on the border of Singapore and Malaysia and look for another job once he was deported.
