Shiddiq, 28, was on Monday (Nov 20) sentenced to six months' jail for causing his daughter's death. Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Stephanie Koh said Shiddiq had displayed a high degree of negligence in causing the death of his 3½-month-old daughter on Oct 12, 2015. She said he clearly prioritised his mobile phone game over the welfare of the baby. Placing the child on his lap, Shiddiq used one hand to hold the milk bottle to her mouth and the other hand to play the game. The maximum penalty for causing death by negligence is two years' jail and a fine.
