SINGAPORE - The mother of four-year-old Megan Khung who had been abused and humiliated for more than a year before she died was on April 3 sentenced to 19 years’ jail.

On Feb 28, Foo Li Ping, 29, had pleaded guilty to one count of child abuse, one count of allowing the death of a child, and one count of intentional disposal of a corpse to impede investigations.

Another count of child abuse was considered in sentencing.

Foo looked expressionless as the sentence was read out by High Court judge Hoo Sheau Peng.

“For their own sadistic ends, the accused persons robbed Megan of her dignity,” said the judge.

The prosecution had on Feb 28 asked for 15 to 20 years’ jail, saying the case involved a gross abnegation of parental duties.

For more than a year, Foo and her boyfriend, Wong Shi Xiang, 38, caned and slapped Megan, deprived the girl of food and clothes, and made her sleep at the balcony of their rented condominium unit in Paya Lebar.

Looks more like certain mental health issue with the involved culprits.

Long jail sentence will not deter such crime from happening in the future.

 

[Humster]

She’s already in remand since July 2020 when she was arrested, that’s like 4 years plus to sentence date which is today and it counts towards her sentence.

With good behaviour 2/3 remission, she only needs to serve about 13 years of her 19 years…so you do the sum, she only needs to serve about 8 more years and can come out

So its inclusive of the 4yrs in remand aka back dated la.

Now you know why her daughter liddat . The Mother obviously din teach her correct moral values in life .

虎毒不食子 。

Both the mothers are epic failures

Dunno how true is that except for the intention of murder. Even that is subjective.

SB former wife BF seriously injured Megan, breaking her Jaw. But he was not remorseful, didn't even sent her to doctor!

They have every intention to torture without taking note if it will take her life. Maybe that's called manslaughter. I dunno.

But the sentence is too light for those 2. Not looking forward to the sentence of this Novelle.
Won't be surprise if it is 10yrs which can reduce to 5yr or even 3yrs!

Wasting taxpayer monies again...

Agree. If only the death sentence is also applicable for such heinous crimes...

Not sure on whether their drug abuse health hazard being taken into account more thoughtfully in this trial?

'I'm so f**king sorry Megan': Simonboy reacts to late daughter's abusers getting 19 & 30 years jail terms​

"I'm sorry," said Simonboy.

Following the sentencing of his late daughter's abusers, Khung Wei Nan — also known as Simonboy, who is a local content creator — shared a photo of Megan Khung and an apology to her.

This was after the mother of Megan Khung and her boyfriend were sentenced to jail on Apr. 3.

Foo Li Ping and Wong Shi Xiang were sentenced to 19 years and 30 years in jail, respectively.

Wong was also given 17 strokes of the cane.

The pair subjected the four-year-old girl to 13 months of physical and psychological abuse, which eventually led to her death.

Foo and Wong later burned the girl's body.

Khung, the girl's biological father, shared an Instagram story on Apr. 3 that "nothing is ever enough to give [him] any good closure".

He added that it has been five years since Megan's passing, and it was no coincidence that is a week before his current wife is due to deliver their first child.

Mitigation plea​

Foo​

During the hearing, the judge said recordings made of Megan's humiliation during the months of abuse showed "the absolute depravity of the accused's actions", adding that they also "deprived her of the dignity of a proper death".

Foo's lawyers, Josephus Tan and Cory Wong from Invictus Law, who represented her pro bono, called for a jail sentence of not more than 11 years.

They cited letters that Foo wrote in prison claiming that she was "trapped in an abusive relationship" with Wong and that he had turned his anger on her when she did try to stop him.

They also highlighted that in a September 2020 Institute of Mental Health (IMH) report, the doctor opined that Foo likely had an adjustment disorder with depressed mood due to the "abusive relationship" at the time of the offences.

However, the judge did not give any mitigating weight to Foo's claim of an abusive relationship, noting that Wong disputed it and that Foo also abused Megan when Wong was not present.

"Her claims, even if true, do not absolve her of any liability," said the judge, calling Foo's actions a "gross abnegation of parental duties".

Wong​

Defence lawyers argued for Wong to be given 20 to 22 years' jail and 11 strokes of the cane.

Wong was said to have been under the influence of methamphetamine ("Ice") while disciplining Megan.

However, the judge opined that this had no mitigating weight, deeming it an attempt to "downplay his criminality" and agreeing with the prosecution that Wong's consumption of drugs would conversely be considered an aggravating factor.

"His actions are not what anyone would have done in the way of discipline — it was abuse," said the judge.

In March 2025, Foo had pleaded guilty to multiple offences, ranging from child abuse to drug trafficking and consumption.

These were also taken into consideration during sentencing.

On the disposal of Megan's corpse, the judge noted on Apr. 3 that this was "one of the worst cases under this provision", as all traces of the four-year-old's body were disposed of, to the point that the pathologist could only make predictions regarding the cause of death.

The judge concluded that "the court must, on behalf of society, impose such strict sentences" to send a signal to those entrusted with the duty of caregivers that such actions will not be tolerated but met with the full force of the law.

Background to the case​

Megan died in a condominium in Paya Lebar after she was physically and psychologically abused for over 13 months.

Megan's mother, Foo, and her boyfriend, Wong, caned and hit the child repeatedly, starved her, and humiliated her by shaving her head and drawing on her face.

They also made her eat mucus and food from the dustbin and forced her to sleep in a planter box exposed to the afternoon sun until the child got heatstroke.

The offences were committed from February 2019 onwards in a unit at the Suites@ Guillemard condominium in Paya Lebar rented by the couple.

Foo also withdrew Megan from a preschool that she had been attending since 2017 after staff there noticed signs of abuse.

In February 2020, Megan was fatally punched by Wong in the stomach and left to die while the couple took drugs in the unit.

A regular visitor to the unit, Nouvelle Chua, 35, a friend of the couple, did nothing to stop the abuse but recorded it on her mobile phone on various occasions.

After Megan's death, her corpse was left in the unit for months before Wong and Foo burnt it in a barrel to avoid detection.

Megan's death was discovered after her father Khung lodged a police report on Jul. 20, 2020.

Khung said he had last seen his daughter in February 2017 before his incarceration and was concerned about her whereabouts and safety.

Khung made a police report out of concern for his child on Jul. 20, 2020.

Within three days, police traced Foo, Wong, and Chua and brought them to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for interviews.

They were arrested on Jul. 24, 2020, in connection with Megan's disappearance.

Drug utensils and a packet of crystal methamphetamine ("Ice") were found in the unit.

Wong's urine was also found in a test to contain Ice.

Wong and Foo were both placed in police custody and were both remanded in prison after being charged with Megan's murder.
