1l0v3you Clutched October 27, 2009 Share October 27, 2009 i started this topic on behalf of helpmeplease: I'm from Malaysia. my brother was detained on last Sunday, by Changi police. and he just manage to make a very short call to us that he did something against law and now detained by police. we didn't know what is happening and couldn't get in touch with him since then. after we called to check with police department by department , then we realise that my brother is charged under credit card fraud. We were so shocked, sad n disappointed. but anyway, we believe that he must be cheated by his bad friends. he have a good job in Malaysia, we are very close and we just had dinner on the day before. he didn't told us that he is going to Singapore at all. although we are not in rich family, we didn't even think to do anything that is against Law. we had consult with Singapore Police station, and being told that only Singaporean can apply from court to 'take'(保释) him out. but we don't know any Singaporean. is that means there're no alternative way? Do anyone know for this kind of case, what is the outcome? Fine? roughly how much? Do anyone know any accomodation that is cheap? because i need to go to Singapore to get things clear and i want to see my brother. my sister and i were crying day n night thinking of him. we didn't told both of my parents as my father got stroke, and kidney problem (now doing dialysis), my mother got heart problem. It is really hard for us to keep lying to them that brother is working in singapore now. i know they have some doubt for this as it is impossible that my brother didn't tell them before and why can't reach his cell phone. but what to do, i can't let anything happenned to my parents again. i'm feeling helpless.. we were feeling hopeless and have no direction of what to do.. somemore i'm jobless for half year and now taking care of my newborn baby. What happenned now is such a BIG stone stacking on my back. but i know i love my brother and i know there're must be some story at the back that make him done this. Could anyone pls give me some advice and answer my question as above as soon as possible? Thanks for reading this and hope to share your advice.. ___________________________________________ Thanks for all who advise me to call the Malaysian embassy.i had make several calls and was being told that they can't do anything for us and just can ensure my brother is doing fine at there.. Can anyone help me to start a new topic as i'm a newbie at this forum? Pls put the topic as 'My brother being detained by Changi Police.Pls HELP!'. Hope someone can also suggest a cheap accomodation which i need when i travel to S'pore to visit my brother in next few days. Thanks a lot for your help! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if he knows tht what he did was wrong, then he has to pay for his crime. Better to admit quilt earlier than being judged & admit, worse penalties, however, i may be wrong as am not a lawyer. for accommodation, if u dont mind, can check into Hotel 81 near to national library bugis. cheap & gd. take care...

Alfisti168 1st Gear October 27, 2009 Share October 27, 2009 http://www.streetdirectory.com/ can help you find out how exactly to go to Changi prison (by bus, if you're not driving) and check out the nearest hotel in that area. Do have a handphone no. on the Malaysian embassy in Singapore (and give them your no. too), because if you have any sudden issues you can call them and ask for help. Basically I can only help this much. Really sry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorssoh Neutral Newbie October 27, 2009 Share October 27, 2009 Firstly, don't panic Get hold of the Malaysian Embassy in Singapore, and explain the situation to them. That should be your first stop Regarding bail. i think you will need a Singaporean citizen, or a PR to assist you on this. http://app.subcourts.gov.sg/Data/Files/Fil...iesOfBailor.pdf Best, is to approach the Malaysian embassy for help in your scenario.

Ptcaca 2nd Gear October 27, 2009 Share October 27, 2009 Hi, I can allow you to use my name to bail your brother as long as you pay the bail not me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo 2nd Gear October 27, 2009 Share October 27, 2009 for credit card fraud in singapore its a standard jail term. bail might be allowed after investigations. it would be min of $10k to $200k SGD. his passport would be impounded also. i have a feeling if bail is allowed the amt would be very high as he's a foreigner. good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unltd 5th Gear October 27, 2009 Share October 27, 2009 If this guy is serious in seeking help, get him to place his mobile number down instead of posting all over the forums without contact. Also, a crime is a crime thus with criminal proceedings better not to post in open forums too much, will be frowned upon. In Singapore not much of a choice, best is to find a lawyer to help if he really needs to expedite things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luv_hurts Neutral Newbie October 27, 2009 Share October 27, 2009 A singaporean doing crime in singapore or overseas will also be punished. Likewise if you believe your brother is led astray by his friends, he should expose all of them to get a lighter sentence. There are no exceptions for anyone in the law. Imagine if you are the victim of a credit card fraud, how will you feel? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
City100a Neutral Newbie October 27, 2009 Share October 27, 2009 should not be so harsh TS is asking for help to assist him in finding a cheap accomodation also we dont know if his bro is really a criminal yet and may confess under duress so in life must always give people a chance first to explain themselves before jumping to conclusion every single person here must have committed a crime sometime in their life it is either it small or unnoticced and hence not caught so lets be a sympathetic TS must be desparate and so post here in a car forum and has no where to turn cant we at least give him some sensible answers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholasl Neutral Newbie October 27, 2009 Share October 27, 2009 For accommodation, if you are looking for budget and good, and near town. I can suggest you to G4. Its a dormitory which is in a "share" room. Environment is great and lively. Price is only from $33, which to me sounds very affordable. http://www.g4station.com/ If you want a whole room to yourself, I guess the next very affordable is our famous budget hotels like Fragrance or Hotel 81.
