A man who was sentenced to jail in Singapore over an altercation with the police was released on the same day he was sentenced due to an error in calculating the jail term.
Muhammad Fathurrahman Mohd Adzlan was contacted and returned to jail four days later to complete his sentence.
In a statement on Friday, a judiciary spokeswoman said Muhammad was sentenced to 32 weeks’ jail on October 27, last year. However, this was erroneously reflected as 20 weeks.
According to court papers, Muhammad, then 31, had made an emergency call saying: “If committing suicide is an offence … Singaporeans behave like Isis how? … Police can’t do anything … You will be receiving more calls later on and some will be fire related.”
Police officers who were deployed to look for Muhammad found him at Pasir Ris Polyclinic on July 14, last year.
While the police were checking his particulars, Muhammad began behaving aggressively, court papers stated. He refused to sit down and calm down, shouting that “police are always disturbing me” and calling one of the officers a “coward”, “Isis” and “terrorist”.
