VICTOR FOO SEANG KWANG v PUBLIC PROSECUTOR

The applicant, a director of Singapore Precious Metals Exchange Pte Ltd facing investigation for allegedly facilitating unlicensed cross-border money transfer services under the Payment Services Act 2019, sought High Court revision of a District Court decision refusing him leave to travel overseas, primarily because his wife and children had relocated to Malaysia. The High Court considered whether the District Judge's refusal was so erroneous as to warrant revisionary intervention, but held that new facts raised by the applicant—including a Malaysian anti-corruption commission offer to retain his passport—could not be relied on in revision proceedings as they did not exist at the time of the lower court decision. Criminal Motion 16 of 2026 was dismissed, with the court directing the applicant to make a fresh application in the District Court.
