Repeat violent offender jailed for assaulting colleague in Coleman Street, causing brain injury
The assault victim has not regained his sense of smell, the court heard.
A 47-year-old man, Muhammad Adli Amran, has been jailed for nine months and fined $1,200 after he assaulted a colleague, causing a traumatic brain injury that has left him unable to smell. This is Adli's fourth violent conviction. The incident occurred on May 3, 2025, at a nightspot on Coleman Street, where Adli was a bouncer and his victim was a manager.
The altercation took place during a commotion involving other individuals, and Adli punched the victim, causing him to fall and hit a glass panel. The victim, who has since recovered, still lacks his sense of smell.
In a separate, unrelated incident, Adli was involved in a scheme to obtain work passes for nine foreigners without employing them. He allegedly facilitated this by scanning QR codes and providing one-time passwords for Chira King, a company set up by Ah Boy, a person Adli initially discussed the business with. Despite not being aware of the company's operations, Adli allowed the misuse of his Singpass and Corppass details, resulting in unauthorized work pass applications.
