Well, it will certainly be 'interesting' to see just how the Singaporean justice system deals with this 'idiot' / moron....?
No cheers here....nope, none at all.

Unless he can dig up some extenuating circumstances, I'm going to guess; 2 year sentence with 12 strokes of the rattan.
Then look for a cruise ship heading for anywhere in Australia.
And forget about any future overseas travel.

One report says that the previous guy to do similar (an American) suffered from schizophrenia - after diagnosis.
He got a month in gaol for hitting a flight attendant and then deported.
That might be an easy out for the Singaporeans.
I'll stick with my "too many Tigers" theory.
