"The prosecution has said that it required continuous access to the accused person for the purposes of recording statements and it has had 22 days of continuous access. The net result is two charges and S$396,000," Mr Wee said. On how his client's assets being frozen in Singapore contributes to him being a flight risk, Mr Wee argued the prosecution would have argued the same even if Wang Baosen had no assets in Singapore.The prosecution also failed to elaborate how the risk of collusion could be manifested, Mr Wee said, adding that while his client could be electronically tagged, the prosecution seemed"hell bent" on one outcome.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Ng Jean Ting applied for no bail in Su's case, citing how he faces serious offences and was a flight risk, among other reasons.
