2 charged over alleged involvement in posting of bail for man who subsequently absconded
Find out what's new on ST website and app. Long Zhihua, a 39-year-old Chinese national, was a member of a housebreaking syndicate and is facing charges of housebreaking and possession of stolen property. SINGAPORE – Two men were charged in court on July 22 over their alleged involvement in the posting of bail for a man involved in a housebreaking case who subsequently absconded. The fugitive is named in court documents as Long Zhihua, a 39-year-old Chinese national, who was a member of a housebreaking syndicate and is facing charges of housebreaking and possession of stolen property. Long was arrested after he allegedly broke into a Windsor Park Road house on June 21, 2024, and made off with more than $570,000 worth of jewellery together with an accomplice. On July 22, Wilson Ang, 41, and Wai Kei Fung, 25, were handed one obstruction of justice charge each, and one each related to entering into an agreement to indemnify against any liability, which is an offence under the Criminal Procedure Code. Ang, a Singaporean, was also handed a further charge over providing false information to a public servant. In a press release, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said that on April 1, Ang had allegedly posed as a bailor for a 39-year-old man who is named in court documents as Long Zhihua. Ang allegedly did so for money and did not know Long. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Wai, a Malaysian, purportedly abetted this agreement by couriering the bail in cash to Ang to facilitate the posting of bail. Ang allegedly acted as a surety to a bail bond for Long to the sum of $30,000, leading to Long's release from remand in prison. After bail was posted, Wai allegedly drove to the prison, picked Long up and took him to a hotel. Wai purportedly paid for a room at the hotel to house Long. Subsequently, Ang allegedly lodged a police report falsely claiming he had maintained regular contact with Long before eventually losing contact with him, in an attempt to deny involvement in the matter. Long then absconded while on bail and failed to attend a court hearing for charges in relation to his case. The State Courts has issued a warrant of arrest against him, said the police, adding that it is working with foreign law enforcement counterparts to trace his whereabouts. On July 22, Ang and Wai, who were in remand, attended the hearing in court via video-link. A police prosecutor submitted for no bail for Wai, saying that he had facilitated Long to jump bail and because he is a foreigner with high flight risk. Ang was offered bail of $15,000. Their cases were adjourned to Aug 18 for the completion of investigations. If convicted of obstructing the course of justice, an offender can be jailed for up to seven years, fined or both. Those found guilty of entering into an agreement to indemnify against any liability, can be jailed for up to three years, fined or both. The offence of providing false information with intent to cause a public servant to omit any action if the true state of facts were known by him, carries a maximum punishment of two years' jail, a fine, or both. SPF said it take a serious view of acts that interfere with the administration of justice, and that offenders will be dealt with in accordance with the law.

Monsoon rains set off massive flooding in Philippine capital region
Find out what's new on ST website and app. Life in metropolitan Manila ground to a halt on July 21 as torrential rains inundated the capital region. MANILA – Floodwaters driven by torrential rains ground life in the Philippine capital to a halt on July 22, with tens of thousands evacuated from their homes and at least two people believed missing. Schools and government offices in metropolitan Manila and the surrounding provinces were closed after a night of rain that saw the region's Marikina River burst its banks. More than 23,000 people living along the river were evacuated overnight, sheltering in schools, village halls and covered courtyards. Another 25,000 more were evacuated in the metropolitan area's Quezon and Caloocan cities. 'Usually, these people are from low-lying areas like beside creeks (feeding into the river),' according to Mr Wilmer Tan, of the Marikina rescue office, who said the river reached 18m in height. An elderly woman and her driver were swept down a swollen creek as they attempted to cross a bridge in Caloocan, said Mr John Paul Nietes, an emergency operations centre assistant supervisor. 'Their car was recovered last night. The rescue operation is continuing, but as of today, they haven't found either of them,' he said. 'The car window was broken, so the hope is that they were able to escape.' Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Ongoing monsoon rains have killed at least three people and left another seven missing in the central and southern Philippines since Tropical Storm Wipha skirted the country on July 18, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. At least 20 storms or typhoons strike or come near the Philippines each year, with the country's poorest regions typically the hardest hit. Deadly and destructive storms are becoming more powerful as the world gets warmer because of climate change.

A month after ceasefire with Israel, Iranians fear another war
Find out what's new on ST website and app. A view shows the aftermath of an Israeli strike on a building on Monday, after the ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran, in Tehran, on June 26. TEHRAN - The ceasefire that ended Iran's 12-day war with Israel has held for nearly a month without incident, but many Iranians remain uneasy, struggling with uncertainty as fears of another confrontation linger. 'I don't think this ceasefire will last,' said Peyman, a 57-year-old resident of Shiraz in Iran's south, one of numerous cities hit last month as Israel unleashed an unprecedented bombing campaign against its staunch rival. The Israeli offensive targeted key nuclear facilities and military sites, killing top commanders and nuclear scientists and hundreds of other people, while also wreaking havoc in some residential areas. The attacks triggered the fiercest fighting in history between the longtime foes, ending with a ceasefire announced on June 24. But Israel has signalled it could return to fighting if Iran attempts to rebuild nuclear facilities or carry out any actions deemed a threat, such as moving to develop an atomic bomb – an ambition Tehran has consistently denied it was pursuing. Iran, in turn, has vowed to deliver a harsh response if attacked again. Nuclear diplomacy with the United States – which briefly joined the war with strikes on key Iranian nuclear sites – has stalled, deepening a sense of uncertainty about what lies ahead. 'I am scared the war would start again,' said Hamid, a 54-year-old government employee who gave only his first name. 'It will lead to the death of more innocent people and the destruction of the country's infrastructure.' During the war, Israel struck major Iranian cities including the capital Tehran, hitting military sites, government buildings and the state television headquarters. More than 1,000 people were killed in Iran, according to authorities. Retaliatory missile and drone attacks killed 29 people in Israel. 'Don't want to flee again' Many residents fled Tehran, seeking refuge in other parts of the country, even though few regions were untouched by the blasts and smoke-covered skies. Nearly a month later, a series of fires that broke out across Iran in recent days – including one at a major oil facility – have triggered speculations which officials were quick to dismiss, denying any acts of sabotage. 'This war really frightened me,' said 78-year-old housewife Golandam Babaei, from the western Kermanshah province. She lived through the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, a painful memory for many of her generation. 'I kept telling myself, please God, do not let the past repeat itself,' Ms Babaei told AFP. The war with Israel, although much shorter and fought mostly with air strikes and missiles rather than by ground forces, revived grim memories of the conflict with Iraq. That war, triggered by an Iraqi invasion in 1980, killed an estimated 500,000 people on both sides. It featured chemical warfare and prolonged front-line bombardments, scarring Iranians in the then-nascent Islamic republic born out of the 1979 revolution. Since then, for decades, Iran had managed to keep conflicts away from its territory. But now after the 12-day war with Israel, some Iranians feel a profound sense of vulnerability. 'I kept thinking I don't want to flee again, we have nowhere to go. I cannot run to the mountains like the past,' said Ms Babaei. Uncertain future For Mr Ali Khanzadi, a 62-year-old war veteran, the conflict with Israel highlighted a change compared to the 1980s when 'we didn't have any advanced military equipment' to fight the Iraqis. Mr Khanzadi, who was wounded in battle in 1983, said that the war with Israel, while much shorter, had a more sinister dimension. Unlike in the past, modern military technology means 'they can kill a child in his sleep remotely using a drone,' he said. In the face of the Israeli threats and attacks, Iranian authorities have repeatedly invoked national unity. Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said the offensive was aimed at toppling the Islamic republic's clerical system, and urged Iranian diplomats and military officials to proceed with 'care and precision' as the country cautiously moves on. Tehran has said it remained open to nuclear diplomacy with the United States which the war had derailed, but officials have expressed concerns over renewed attacks and demanded unspecified US guarantees to resume negotiations. Ordinary Iranians appear to share fears that the conflict could erupt again. 'I hope that this will not happen,' said Hamid. Ms Babaei said she was praying 'for peace, for us to remain safe in our homes'. AFP
