Abdul Jalil Nasar, 26, the sixth man to be convicted, admitted to conspiring with three people between April and May last year to rob Malaysian Zainun Sultan Baharuddin, 41, at a flat in Dorset Road on May 27 last year.
The victim was relieved of RM500,000 (about S$214,600),RM2,000 (about S$890), $400, and other personal belongings at about 2am on May 27 last year.
The court heard that Jalil, who is from Penang, was approached by Nurhaisimah Abdullah, 49, a Singaporean living in Kuala Lumpur, to rob Mr Zainun as she had outstanding debts to settle.
