Two commanders from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), convicted of reduced charges over a 2018 ragging incident in which a full-time national serviceman died, will face their original, more serious charges, following a decision by the High Court.
Justice See Kee Oon yesterday ruled that former Tuas View Fire Station rota commander Kenneth Chong Chee Boon, 40, and his deputy Nazhan Mohamed Nazi, 42, were guilty of intentionally aiding servicemen to cause grievous hurt to Corporal Kok Yuen Chin by a rash act that endangered human life.
Cpl Kok, who was 22, drowned in a pump well during the ragging on the night of May 13, 2018.
