Megan Khung, at just four years old, her life was tragically cut short due to unimaginable abuse. It’s hard to fathom the pain she endured and the love she never got to experience. She DIED after being punched in the stomach by her mother's boyfriend, Wong Shi Xiang, on February 21, 2020. Instead of seeking medical help, Wong and the child's mother, Foo Li Ping, took drugs at home.
The 29-year-old Foo Li Ping and her partner, 38-year-old Wong, faced the consequences of their actions in a Singapore court. After pleading guilty to serious charges last February, the verdict has now been delivered: Foo is sentenced to 19 years in prison, while Wong will serve 30 years and receive 17 strokes of the cane.
Justice Hoo Sheau Peng condemned the actions of the accused as “heinous and extremely bad.” This statement came during a pivotal court session where the gravity of their crimes was laid bare for all to see.
As footage of the harrowing events was presented, a stark warning was issued to attendees about the distressing content. Notably, one of the accused, Foo, displayed an unsettling detachment when the sentence was read, prompting reflection on the human capacity for empathy.
A statement echoed that will forever resonate: “Nothing of Megan, not even her ashes remained,” the Judge declared, leaving everyone in the room silence.
Foo has pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including child abuse, allowing the death of a child, and intentionally disposing of a corpse to impede the investigation.
Additionally, Wong, whose actions were influenced by drug use during this horrific incident, has also admitted to four charges : culpable homicide for the life of young Megan, intentional disposal of a corpse, drug trafficking, and drug consumption.
On the night of her death, Megan collapsed after Wong struck her. The couple, along with Chua, failed to get medical help and instead attempted unorthodox resuscitation methods, including using makeshift defibrillation and forcing drug smoke into her mouth. When these failed, they wrapped her body in plastic and cement before incinerating it months later.
The crime came to light in July 2020 when Megan's biological father, Khung Wei Nan, lodged a police report. The trio was arrested shortly after.
