The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has been in touch with the Saudi Ambassador here over the case of an alleged assault by a Saudi Arabian Embassy official on a condominium resident.
“We have emphasised the importance of observing the due process of law in Singapore and asked that Mr Bader and the Saudi Embassy cooperate fully with the Singapore authorities,” said an MFA spokesman yesterday.
A Magistrate’s Complaint was filed recently against Mr Bader I F Al Balawi, Third Secretary of the Saudi Embassy in Singapore.
According to reports, the complainant, Mr A Jaafar, a 37-year-old senior executive, alleged that Mr Bader attacked him on Jan 9 when he told the Saudi official not to park at a space reserved for the handicapped at Glendale Park condominium in Hillview Avenue.
“The Ambassador has assured us that the Saudi Embassy respects Singapore’s laws and regulations, and would extend its full cooperation to ensure that the facts of the case can be established and the matter handled within Singapore’s legal processes,” the MFA spokesman said.
“As the matter is before the Attorney-General’s Chambers now, it is not proper for MFA to speculate on what steps will be taken,” he added.
