SINGAPORE – A man, who used a knife to repeatedly stab two victims in separate incidents and caused serious injuries, jumped bail before fleeing to the Philippines in 1999.He was then deported to Singapore and was rearrested 25 years later on July 13, 2024.

Court documents did not disclose the reasons behind this attack, but the victim suffered serious injuries and had to be hospitalised for 48 days.Nah and two men, including one of his friends, were at a pool table in a lounge in Jalan Leban, near Upper Thomson Road, at around 2.30am that day when the victim walked over to the trio.

An angry Nah picked up a bar stool and tried to hit the victim with it, but the owner of the lounge stopped him from doing so. The owner then led Nah out of the nightspot. Her husband was later taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital where he had to undergo an emergency laparotomy, or an incision through his abdominal wall. The victim was then found to have a lacerated gall bladder with a leakage of bile.Nah was on the run before police arrested him on June 19 that year, and he was charged in court two days later.
