A businessman charged with two counts of commercial sex with a minor was given permission to leave the country for business and an event.
Edward Whistler Goh Ngian Meng, 49, applied through his lawyer Wee Pan Lee to make two trips before his next court date in May.
Counsel said his client wished to travel to Shanghai, China, for business for four days from Sunday and to Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia, from May 4 to 6.
Goh is the founder and CEO of Edward Whistler International Group, which specialises in business consulting and management training.
He was among four men hauled to court on Wednesday for paid sex with a girl who is under 18 years old.
To date, 48 men have been prosecuted for paid sex with a girl under 18, which is punishable with a jail term of up to seven years or fine or with both.
Meanwhile, Swiss national Juerg Buergin, 40, former executive director of operations at UBS Investment Bank in Singapore, was finally freed on bail of $15,000 on Friday afternoon.
Like Goh, he also faces two charges of paid sex with the girl.
