Beh said he was happy to be free and home. I am really happy to have seen my father at the airport. It was great seeing him again, said Beh, who is currently being quarantined at the Rainbow Paradise Hotel in Tanjung Bungah, for the government-mandated quarantine for foreign arrivals.
Beh, who has not seen his father in a while, was thrilled to finally meet him in person.
He escaped the noose on Oct 13,2020, after the Singapore Court of Appeal cleared him of a capital drug charge, finally walking out a free man on Tuesday (March 9).
The Straits Times reported that Beh was released after the same panel of judges dismissed a bid by prosecutors to proceed with the trial of four other non-capital charges against him.
BALIK PULAU (Dec 30): The Penang government today requested for the federal government’s assistance to provide allocation for employers that need to send their foreign workers for a mandatory Covid-19 screening test.
State Housing, Local Government, Town and Country Planning Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo said the majority of employers were not able to finance the screening test for their workers as their business had been badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Screening tests should be provided free under the federal government s Budget 2021. The federal government has allocated RM4 billion to the Ministry of Health (MoH) to curb the spread of this epidemic so I suggest we use the allocation for this screening test.
