Amid the Covid-19 outbreak, a man co-hosted a birthday party in a unit at The Springs condominium in Moulmein Rise, where a majority of the 34 guests consumed Ecstasy.
Ong, 33, a Singaporean, pleaded guilty on May 27 to one count each of ketamine consumption and allowing guests to enter the unit, even though a maximum of only five people were allowed to do so at the time because of Covid-19 restrictions.Two other drug consumption charges involving Ecstasy and gamma-hydroxybutyrate will be considered during sentencing.
“He knew that others at the party were consuming drugs, including Ecstasy, and allowed this to continue.”Ong’s urine samples were later found to contain traces of ketamine, Ecstasy and GHB.
