In referring to the Sim Min Teck appeal case, the Court of Appeal dismissed Yong's appeal for the lack of merit in his case, given that there was insufficient evidence to charge and convict Chia for the bigger role he played in Yong's crime, and they stated that the different treatment Chia received has no bearing in Yong's conviction, since there was sufficient evidence to convict Yong, and the prosecution had the legal right to proceed with different charges against two or persons who played different roles in the same crime. In the aftermath, the government passed laws to allow drug couriers to no longer face the death penalty and receive

against a defendant in a murder case where more than one person was charged, and it was not necessarily the case where an accomplice of a murder should be charged with murder, due to the different roles that all accomplices may play in such cases. The prosecution also emphasized that the trio's common intention, per
Justice Lai's findings, was to commit murder (whether by one or more of them) during the course of committing aggravated robbery. Knight argued that the judgement of Beh's trial should not have any bearing in Sim's trial verdict, and that he pointed out Sim and the third accomplice Chng, as the aggressors, had brutally killed the first victim Lee Cheng Tiong after they forcibly entered the premises to rob him, which was not a classic case of self-defense. The murder of the second victim Teo Keng Siang, per Knight's arguments, was also not accidental, as there was a clear sign that the robbers did not want to leave him alive as a witness to identify them. Hence, Knight sought a guilty verdict of murder in Sim's case.
231:, the senior forensic pathologist, performed an autopsy on the victims. He stated in his autopsy report that there were a total of nine stab wounds on Lee's body, and two chest wounds were the main cause of Lee's death. Professor Chao also revealed there were four knife wounds on Teo's corpse, all of which directed at his chest and penetrated his right lung, and thus caused Teo to die. He also stated that there was a cut to Teo's left finger, suggesting that Teo had put up his left hand to defend himself against his attackers. Professor Chao determined that the murders of Teo and Lee were committed by at least two or more persons unknown, given the fact that both victims, who were both of tall and huge body build, had been brutally overpowered and killed within the small confinement of Lee's little fishery office.

intention of causing death, regardless of whoever took part in the stabbing. Justice Abdul Wahab also stated that the judges considered Beh as a truthful witness and accepted his testimony that Lee had been restrained and stabbed by both Sim and the third accomplice Chng Meng Joo, and it was clear that the murder of Lee was within the trio's calculations when they conspired to commit armed robbery. Justice Abdul Wahab also stated that the trio had killed 16-year-old Teo to facilitate their escape after the robbery, and that the young boy's murder was also conceived out of the trio's common intention to flee. Based on the above evidence, the judges disbelieved Sim's claim that he never expected the murders to happen in the course of robbery.
708:
commented that it seemed that Sim was feeling aggrieved at the fact that he was convicted of murder, unlike Beh who faced manslaughter charges. The three judges also pointed out that the prosecution had the right to decide on which charge to proceed against the defendant, and the charges cannot speak for themselves on whether the defendant should be guilty of murder in light of the evidence available, since a person may not be charged with murder even in a case that was genuinely constituted as murder. As such, on 7 July 1986, the Court of Appeal ruled that the appeal of Sim should be dismissed, since there was no breach of his rights. After the loss of his appeal, Sim was eventually hanged at

In referencing to the case of both Sim and Beh Meng Chai, the courts dismissed the lawsuit on the grounds that the prosecution had the discretion to proceed with different charges based on the evidence and role of the defendants in the joint offence charged.

arrest of the principal offender Sim, he nonetheless stated that the crimes were brutal and a harsh punishment should be imposed to reflect the gravity and severity of the offences. Justice Lai pointed out that based on Beh's confession, the other evidence and the common intention he shared with the two men to commit the fatal robberies, Beh would have been held guilty of murder in the eyes of law regardless of whether he took part in the stabbing or not. Justice Lai personally addressed to Beh that he was very fortunate that the charges of murder were reduced, such that he would not face the

Malaysian currency to Lee, but it turned out that Lee and Teo were killed. It was also the normal practice for Lee and other fish dealers working in the area to exchange their foreign money out of their profits made from their respective fishery businesses. The police did not rule out robbery as a motive for the murder. The murders of Teo and Lee were the eighth case of murder to happen within the week itself, where seven were reported before the present case, and the police sent public appeals for information to solve these eight cases.
704:- were aligned with the prosection's arguments, stating that the prosecution clearly summarized that the perpetrators of the Jurong fishing port murders shared the common intention to rob the victims and that murder, not manslaughter, was committed by one or more than one of them in furtherance of the same common intention itself, and they brought weapons to facilitate the commission of armed robbery and use of violence of necessary. On this finding of fact, all three of them could have been liable for murder.
748:
Court of Appeal, in upholding the principles laid by precedent cases including the appeal of Sim Min Teck, stated that there were overwhelming evidence against
Thiruselvam to prove he played a larger role than Katheraven and thus it was fair for the prosecution to proceed with higher charges against him compared to Katheraven, and they rightly exercised their prerogative to proceed with different charges against the defendants charged in the same case for their respective roles in the crime.

It happened so that at the moment Lee was killed, the second victim Teo Keng Siang arrived at the office with a hundred bucks in

Singapore legal terms. It was done on account that Beh fully cooperated with the police, and that he was willing to act as the prosecution's witness against Sim Min Teck in his upcoming trial for the two charges of murder. Beh pleaded guilty to two charges of manslaughter, and another two charges of armed robbery for stealing the money from both Lee and Teo after their deaths.

However, the judge ordered that Beh should serve all his four jail terms concurrently, and he noted that the law restricts a convict from receiving more than the maximum of 24 strokes in a single trial. As a result, Beh’s number of cane strokes was reduced from the original 28 strokes to 24 strokes, and he would only serve a single term of life imprisonment behind bars.

that the prosecution's decision to charge Sim with murder while proceeding with manslaughter charges against Beh for the same case was a violation of Sim's right to equality and equal treatment under the law, and hence he sought a guilty verdict of manslaughter for his client.

Beh also said that after killing Teo and Lee, all three of them proceeded to search in the room for Lee's money, and they took about S$ 1,000 in total, and even stole Lee's pendant and gold chain. Beh added that they also took away Teo's
