The trial has been given more than 50 days to prepare its case.
Ng was arrested in March 2021 and has been held on remand since February 2023 because he was unable to request a$ 6 million bail. Bail was afterward revoked.
While he was on bail, other men tried to help him escape Singapore, and they have already been imprisoned.
On Tuesday, Ng appeared in court with a knot and wearing jail clothing.
A member of the court personnel read Ng’s claims to him in total, taking about an hour. Ng and Judicial Commissioner Christopher Tan later confirmed that he was claiming test.
The trial therefore requested a justification for the 66 costs.
Mr. Almenoar argued that the prosecution if both proceed with all the charges or grant Ng a discharge amounting to an acquittal if the prosecution was unable to provide a justification.
The attorney claimed that Mr. Almenoar had no prior cases to identify, but that this was the” correct approach” when the judge inquired about his justification for this program.
The remaining allegations, he afterward stated, may “hang over the mind of the accused” if they were dropped and never brought up before the test.
Gordon Oh, the deputy public prosecutor, strongly refuted the application, claiming it was” completely a waste of time” and filed at “eleventh hour.”
He cited earlier instances in the case where Ng’s defense brought up the stand-down fees, but the jury did set aside money to hear it.
Resurrecting the issue on the first day of prosecution was” evidently a time-wasting training”, Mr Oh said.
Judicial Commissioner Tan rejected Ng’s software on the stood-down costs, noting that standing down claims has long been entrenched in Singapore’s legal law.
A Court of Appeal decision, according to which the judge relied, provided that an accuser’s program to walk down charges is almost always unambiguous and unlikely to prejudice the accused.
He claimed that the defense had never adequately explained how denying the charges do oppress or prejudice him.
Additionally, parties addressed the court about 58 controlled statements that the trial intends to use as evidence.
The judge argued that this should have been done sooner when Mr. Almenoar claimed he needed to read Lee about whether he agreed to the claims being made.
After the court was adjourned for an hour, Mr. Almenoar made an educated ruling to the judge that his customer objected to the first four witnesses ‘ admissions of two controlled comments.
The attorney requested more time to speak with his client about the remaining comments. The defense was then given a timeframe by the judge-appointed director, Tan.
Afterwards, Mr. Almenoar claimed that because meeting with Ng and taking his instructions were difficult because they were too brief or would be stymied, the defense was “in flow.”
In reply, Mr Oh said that Ng had gone through six set of professionals, including his present army staff, since he was put in custody.
Mr. Oh claimed that the trial had facilitated each request for more time from the defense and that he had been in contact with the prison assistance to arrange appointments with Mr. Oh.
He claimed that the trial had tried to accomodate the defense’s calls, so he could not see any issues with the defense’s attempts to meet Ng.
The trial is scheduled to deliver its starting address on Wednesday morning, and Ng’s trial will resume.
