BBQ told Ang that the bail sum would be provided by someone else.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
On Apr 1 last year, Ang went to the State Courts building and met co-accused Wai Kei Fung, a 25-year-old Malaysian.<\/p>\n
Wai was carrying a bag of money he had collected on BBQ’s instructions.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Wai later paid Ang the promised sum of S$2,000 from the bag.<\/p>\n
Ang did not fulfil his duties as Long’s bailor and never intended to.<\/p>\n
Long was released on bail, and absconded that same month.<\/p>\n
When BBQ informed Ang about this, Ang lodged a police report on Apr 22, 2025, claiming that he had been able to contact Long every morning and night since he was bailed out.<\/p>\n
Ang claimed that Long had been uncontactable for two days and needed to attend court soon, and that he was “quite worried about his safety” and wanted to make a police report as he was “missing for around two days”.<\/p>\n
This turned out to be false. Ang had not contacted Long since his release, and he had lodged the false report to shield himself from investigation.<\/p>\n
