The 23-year-old Singaporean charged with illegal discharge of a firearm – with is punishable with the death penalty – found himself facing two additional charges when he appeared before the court on Monday afternoon.

Muhammad Iskandar bin Sa’at was charged with voluntarily causing hurt to Staff Sergeant Mohammad Sadli Razali, who had also sustained gunshot wounds to his thumb and foot. A Channel NewsAsia report said that the accused had allegedly “hit the police officer multiple times with a metal pole used for securing an IV drip, and with a t-baton.”

He was also charged with resistance to lawful apprehension for his attempt to escape.

Muhammad Iskandar was then remanded to Changi Prison Complex Medical Centre for three weeks for a psychiatric assessment. His request for bail was denied as he is facing a capital charge.

【选举】尚穆根指前进党不热衷打义顺 毕博渊:有人惧怕对手

在今日(1日)的线上记者会,原律政兼内政部长尚穆根,指前进党似乎对于攻打义顺“三心两意”,而上周还曾与其他政党协调对换其他选区。 事实上,早在上月26日,前进党既已决定攻打义顺集选区的人选,包括毕博渊(Bradley Bowyer)、郑财成、卡拉(Kala Manickam)、道菲克(Taufik Supan)以及斯里纳拉(Sri Nallakaruppan)。 尚穆根称,本身不想揣测,但似乎前进党在此事“三心两意”。 前进党候选人毕博渊则很快作出回应,遗憾主流媒体的偏驳报导,似乎让义顺选民不用认真看待前进党,他也指这显示对方惧怕竞争对手,因此试图在选民面前施障眼法。 毕博渊也强调,前进党团队在选区划分检讨委会报告出炉后,就一直在义顺筹备,且根据阻断措施下的规则备战,但却没人愿意提起此事。
