A woman from China threatened to set herself on fire outside the Istana yesterday afternoon.
According to a Shin Min Daily report, the woman, known only as Madam Zhang, was unable to get a refund of her daughter's school fees from a private school.
In an act of desperation and wanting to ask help from officials, she stood outside the Istana, threw a can of lighter fluid on her head and waved a lighter about, threatening to set herself ablaze.
The guards outside the Istana immediately called the police who arrested and brought Zhang to Tanglin Police Station for questioning. The 43-year-old is currently out on bail.

The barbarian nature is not far from the surface in such people. Once they siao liao they don't care.
Some innocent bystander or NSF Istana guard could have gotten hurt. I only wish all "fortunate sons" did their duty in such units.

The only good thing about such high profile cases: they draw attention to the problem.
