Edmund Zachary Ong Wei Ming was sentenced to jail of two years and one week.

Edmund Zachary Ong Wei Ming co-hosted the party in March 2022 despite Covid-19 restrictions, which limited group sizes to a maximum of five people.

They include one count of ketamine consumption, for which he was jailed for one year. This is the minimum sentence for the offence. Ong co-hosted the birthday party at a unit at The Springs condominium in Moulmein Rise with Jonathan Goh Wai Sern. The 35-year-old Goh, a Malaysian, was previously reported to be on the run, with a warrant of arrest issued against him.
