He's on the run from assault charges in Singapore and his whereabouts are not known.

 

But Robert Stephen Dahlberg, 35, a New Zealander, wants to compensate one of the victims of the Suntec City brawl in April 2010.

 

His lawyer has written to the police about the offer.

 

Dahlberg, an options broker, is offering $20,000 to Mr Paul Louis Liew Kai Ming, 27, who was warded at Singapore General Hospital after the attack.

 

When contacted by The New Paper yesterday, Mr Liew said he does not want the money.

 

The second-year law student in Australia said: "I choose not to accept the compensation because I want him to return to Singapore to face his mistakes.

 

"Because of the severity of his violence, I know his charges cannot be compounded but he can use it in his mitigation and ask for a lighter sentence.

 

"As long as it may have an effect on the justice process, I will not do it. All this is very distressing."

 

The police e-mailed Mr Liew on March 6 to inform him of the compensation offer.

 

Dahlberg's lawyer, Mr Sunil Sudheesan, could not be reached for comment.

 

TNP understands that Mr Liew has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and sees a psychiatrist once a month.
