Question

Accepted Answer

The Chinese visitor initially saw Singapore as a wealthy city full of opportunity.

The Chinese visitor, Huang Xiaozong, said he felt Singapore was “nice and rich” and that he wanted to earn money. That impression came as he was visiting the city for the first time and began looking for areas he thought would provide opportunities to make money.
He described Singapore as “nice and rich”
In court documents, Huang said his initial impression was that Singapore was “nice and rich.” He also stated that he wanted to earn money after forming that view.
He acted on that impression soon after arriving
Huang arrived in Singapore on December 5 and checked into a hotel in Little India. The next day, he went to Sentosa and began targeting homes in richer neighbourhoods.

Huang pleaded guilty on July 10 to two counts of housebreaking. He is scheduled to be sentenced on August 14.
