SINGAPORE: A man who said he consumed drugs with former lawyer M Ravi hours before his death was charged on Friday (Dec 26) for arranging a gathering where controlled drugs were consumed.
Shawn Loo Zhi Jian, 40, was handed one charge under the Misuse of Drugs Act by the State Courts.
His charge states that on Wednesday, between 1am and 5am, at an apartment along Upper Boon Keng Road, Loo arranged a gathering with Mr Ravi knowing that methamphetamine – a “Class A” controlled drug – would be consumed there.
The offence carries a jail term between three and 20 years, and 10 strokes of the cane.
Loo, dressed in a white shirt, appeared via videolink from remand. A lawyer representing him said that he had yet to take instructions from Loo and sought an adjournment.
The prosecution told the court that Loo may be given additional charges, pending the results from the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and the retrieval of closed-circuit camera television footage.
In a joint news release on Friday, the Singapore Police Force and the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said that the two men knew each other since 2023 and had first met through a social networking app.
Loo said that they had met at the man’s apartment on Dec 24 to consume drugs that allegedly came from both of them, and engage in other activities.
