Legal issues

On 30 November 2020, Huang appeared in a court trial and was accused of attacking a Bangladeshi worker, Jahidul, with a metal scraper at the Singapore Islamic Hub in December 2018, having been charged on 29 November the previous year.^[12][13] The worker was an employee of HYL Enterprises, a plumbing company which was owned by Huang.^[1] During the trial, audio recordings revealed that Huang had frequent angry, verbal outbursts against Jahidul, causing the worker to live in fear while working for Huang.^[14] On 11 December 2018, Huang then had another violent outburst against Jahidul for not using enough string to tie a plastic bag over a rubbish pail, which eventually led to his attack on Jahidul with a metal scraper.^[15] In court, he claimed that he established an agreement with Jahidul to allow him to hit the worker "to help (him) improve at work", and that the assault was merely play-acting.^[16] However, the prosecutor dismissed the explanation as "ridiculous" and issued Huang a warning against contempt of court.^[17] On 22 January 2021, Huang was convicted of "voluntarily causing hurt by a dangerous weapon" to Jahidul.^[15] On 26 February 2021, the court found him guilty and he was sentenced to 10 months imprisonment.^[18] Huang filed an appeal to lower the sentence, but it was dismissed on 4 February 2022 and he began serving his sentence immediately.^[19]

In November 2024, Huang was fined and banned from driving for five years for striking a cyclist while driving a van.^[20]

On 10 May 2026, he was taken to the hospital after being assaulted at his hawker stall.^[21]
