Punishment of offences committed
beyond, but which by law may be tried within
Singapore
3.Any person liable by law to be tried for an
offence committed beyond the limits of Singapore, shall be
dealt with according to the provisions of this Code for any
act committed beyond Singapore, in the same manner as if such
act had been committed within Singapore. (Penal Code)
Yes, she can sue the person in s'pore, might be better
cos s'pore's sentences for rape are very heavy.
Prob 1)However, is the colleague a s'porean or
foreigner?? If the guy is a foreigner, then it is almost impossible
for her to sue him here, because the foreign govt will never want
to extradite their own citizens overseas for trial.
if the colleague is a s'porean, then he can be arrested
once he steps into s'pore(provided the guy comes to singapore, cos
u can't arrest a person overseas). Lodge a report with SPF and the
state will prosecute him
Prob 2)Rape is a serious offence, hence u need really
concrete evidence against the rapist. make sure yr friend has stuff
like medical reports etc. The problem of prosecuting a person in a
place different from the where the offence was committed is that
evidence is difficult to collect. Ensure your friend gets all the
relevant stuff n evidence from the foreign police. u can't convict
a person just based on the victim's words alone.
