The six were among the group of eight Bangladeshi nationals detained under the Internal Security Act last month. The eight allegedly plotted to commit terror attacks and assassinations in Bangladesh in order to establish an Islamic state.
They were charged in court for providing and/or collecting property for terrorist purposes under Section 4(a) of the Terrorism (Suppression of Financing) Act, Chapter 325 (“TSOFA”). They are: Rahman Mizanur, 31; Mamun Leakot Ali, 29; Miah Rubel, 26; Zzaman Daulat, 34; Md Jabath Kysar Haje Norul Islam Sowdagar, 30; Sohel Hawlader, 29.
Two of the six - Miah and Md Jabath - were also charged for possession of property for terrorist purposes under section 5 of the same Act.
Mamun is claiming trial to one charge. He, like the rest of the accused, were accompanied by officers from the Gurkha contingent into court.
When asked by District Judge Christopher Goh why he is claiming trial, Mamun said that could not remember if he had passed the S$500 stipulated in the charge to Rahman for the purpose of facilitating terrorism in Bangladesh.
“I’ve given him money before. I have given him more than S$500 but I never instructed him to pay the money to any (terrorist group) on my behalf,” said Mamun, who was later carried out of the docks by two Gurkha officers.
The other five accused pleaded guilty to their respective charges and will be brought back to court on Tuesday (31 May) to be sentenced. No bail was granted to all of the accused.
At about 2 pm, three armoured vehicles, accompanied by a few other police vehicles, were seen entering the State Courts compound. Security was tight with heavily clad officers from the Gurkha contingent armed with automatic rifles seen in the car park entrance of the courts.

An officer on site confirmed to the media that the Bangladeshis were in the armoured vehicles. Yahoo Singapore understands that each of the armoured vehicles was carrying two suspects each.
If found guilty, each of the six accused faces a maximum fine of $500,000 or a jail term of up to 10 years or both.
