hi, the only reason it took around 14 months for me was because I kept asking for more time from the court, to try to get as much evidence as possible to show that my 'crime' was not intentional. I went the route of trying to get medical documents saying I black out easily because Alcohol effects me...

Hello all! My appologies for such a late reply, i think its been over a year since the last post here! But here's an update on the outcome of the case. On January 28th 2019, I pleaded guilty in court for the two charges of 1 - Verbal abuse (criminal force) and 2 - Spitting at the police (criminal fo...

what was the crime you commieted if you dont mind me asking? Im asking because (I have another thread on here about when I got arrested)... I got arrested last year and it took a LONG time first for the case to go from the IO, to the AGC and then for the AGC to court... the whole thing went on over ...

I am also hoping that the IO who interviewed me saw that i am a genuine bloke with no criminal intent.. What's a 'genuine' bloke exactly? You mean you're not a sex robot?

Yeah, it's a jail-able offence, but apparently they don't really think you are a flight risk and as long as you didn't pull a dumb on like my kid did, you will probably only have a fine, but, again, they may also slap it to you to make an example.

^^^ This especially so, since there have been a fair number of runners while on bail. PNGMK is giving you sound advice. I think the OP is playing Ostrich. Hopefully he signs up a lawyer. There's nothing worse than being in the lockup realizing no one is on the outside looking after your interests. ...

There are plenty of expats who hang on with a criminal record and even time served here. It's not the end of Singapore by any means. It will be a nuisance because you'll have a conviction for sure which needs to be declared for many visa applications and jobs etc. I would definitely seek legal advi...

Last time, they let me off with a verbal warning and no record. You may have no formal record, but a dollar to a dog turd says that you are in the system. It's probably why you're on bail and your passport is held. They know it's your second offence and they are not going to be lenient this time. P...

Hi all. I’m new to this forum and need some advice form anyone who knows the answer. Last night I was arrested for swearing at a police officer. I was a little drunk at the time so was not aware of my actions. To make things worse, I was told in my interview the following morning that I spat at the ...
