A 59-year-old Singaporean man, Ng Swee Seng, has been charged with murder following a fatal altercation at a public housing block on Lengkok Bahru (a residential street in central Singapore) on Monday. The victim, Thiyagarajan Karunakaran, also 59, was found unresponsive at a 16th-floor corridor and later died at National University Hospital; police say the two men were known to each other. Ng, who appeared in court via videolink and made a cryptic remark about scolding people when he hears sounds, will undergo a medical examination and return to court on 12 August, facing a potential death penalty if convicted.
