Whatever the circumstances, it can be an enormously overwhelming experience when you are first investigated and subsequently charged in court with an alleged offence under Singapore’s criminal law. Typically, this happens within 48 hours of getting arrested and remanded, and more than one charge could be brought against you. It’s imperative that you know your rights. If you’re unsure of the charges brought against you, speak out and tell the Court so. Request for an interpreter should you require one. Once the charges have been read and explained to you, the Court will then ask you for your plea – should you wish to plead guilty or to claim trial.
