Jimmy Chua Chap Seng (蔡捷成, 28 August 1947 – 10 October 1989), nicknamed Hokkien Chai, was a Singaporean criminal and former police officer who was infamous for masterminding the 1986 Pudu Prison hostage incident. Chua, who allegedly committed the murder of a police officer and several firearm offences in Malaysia, was detained at Pudu Prison when he and five other inmates decided to orchestrate a prison escape by taking two members of the prison staff hostage for six days. The incident ended with no fatalities, and Chua and his five accomplices were all arrested and faced kidnapping charges over the hostage incident. However, in a separate court case, Chua was sentenced to death for firearm charges under the Internal Security Act, and was hanged on 10 October 1989 without being convicted for his role in the Pudu incident, which oversaw the imprisonment of his five associates for the case.
