Martin See Hock Leng faces charges following an alleged arson incident outside a mosque in Singapore's Raffles Place, according to reports. The incident, which occurred around 8.05pm, saw the man allegedly start a fire by burning an undergarment at the entrance of Masjid Moulana Mohamed Ali in UOB Plaza. No injuries were reported, and a passerby extinguished the flames.
The Straits Times highlights that See is also accused of using insulting words and committing two thefts. One charge involves telling a praying man at Novena Church on June 24, "You are Hindu. You go out immediately." The theft allegations relate to a S$249 eyewear frame and a S$15 silver necklace stolen from shops in Mandarin Gallery and Arab Street, respectively.
The judge has remanded See to the Institute of Mental Health for a medical examination, with his case scheduled for a follow-up hearing in October.
