Man who escaped gallows yearns for curry mee


GEORGE TOWN: After 53 months in a Singapore jail, a hearty bowl of curry mee from a stall near his kampung house and apam from a pasar malam are top on Beh Chew Boo’s (pic) “to eat” list.

The 38-year-old Penangite, who walked out a free man on March 3 after the Singapore Court of Appeal cleared him of a capital drug charge, arrived in Penang yesterday to begin his 10-day quarantine at a hotel.
