A MAN was brought to court on Tuesday for allegedly making a bomb hoax call that 10 bombs would explode at the newly-opened Marina Bay Sands.
No plea was taken from Fang Xing Chi, 30, a salesman.
He is alleged to have called 999 at about 1.50am on Monday, saying that 10 C4 or plastic bombs would explode in MBS casino and that police had 12 hours to respond.
He is said to have further told the operator: 'This is not a scenario. I am from the Islamic Jihad Party Control from Osama. This is real. I am from the mastermind' with the intention of inducing a false belief that a terrorist act would be carried out.
He was remanded for a week at Jurong police division for investigation.
The bespectacled Fang, who is tall and slim with short hair, said he wanted to get a lawyer but was facing financial difficulties.
If convicted, he faces a fine of up to $100,000 and/or a jail term of up to five years.
