If you are under investigation for a criminal offence in Singapore, it’s crucial to take careful steps:
1. Do not discuss the case with anyone but your lawyer: Avoid talking about the investigation with anyone other than your legal counsel to prevent misinterpretations or weakening your defence.
2. Engage a criminal defence lawyer immediately: A lawyer can guide you on the necessary legal steps and help protect your rights during the investigation.
3. Comply with legal requirements but exercise your rights: You should comply with police requirements such as attending interviews, but remember your right to remain silent on advice from your lawyer, especially if it could incriminate you.
4. Collect and preserve evidence: Gather any potential evidence that could support your case and provide it to your lawyer. This includes documents, electronic information, and witness information.
