He stole a total of 500 Singapore dollars (USD 400) from the store, court documents seen by AFP showed.
Batman also pleaded guilty to various other charges, including stealing his brother's ATM card to make withdrawals amounting to 650 Singapore dollars, and consuming heroin. He was sentenced to a total of 33 months in jail.
