BBQ told Ang that the bail sum would be provided by someone else.
Ang did not know Long or BBQ, or the source of money for the bail sum. Despite this and the fact that he knew that Long faced a serious charge and was a foreigner with no roots in Singapore, Ang agreed.
On Apr 1 last year, Ang went to the State Courts building and met co-accused Wai Kei Fung, a 25-year-old Malaysian.
Wai was carrying a bag of money he had collected on BBQ’s instructions.
Ang took the sum of S$30,000 from Wai and posted bail for Long at the State Courts, signing a document acknowledging his duties as a surety.
These included ensuring Long’s punctual attendance for all court dates and a duty to keep in daily communication with Long and to be aware of his movements.
Wai later paid Ang the promised sum of S$2,000 from the bag.
Ang did not fulfil his duties as Long’s bailor and never intended to.
