A Chinese man was jailed in Singapore for six months and fined $2,000 for carrying martial arts weapons without a permit.
A 59-year-old Chinese man, Li Hongwei, was sentenced to six months and two weeks in jail and fined $2,000 in Singapore for possessing illegal weapons, including nunchucks, a kunai, and knuckle dusters, after a viral video showed him performing martial arts in Geylang in 2025.
He claimed he was unaware of Singapore’s strict laws, stating the items were used for performances and that he was a martial arts instructor and sole provider for his family.
Authorities confirmed nunchucks are controlled weapons without a permit, and the other items posed a potential danger.
The case underscores Singapore’s stringent weapons regulations, even for non-criminal, performance-based use.
