Ng, together with his Malaysian accomplice Lee Kok Chin, later engaged in a shoot-out with Cisco guard Karamjit Singh, whom he injured in the leg. Ng had also shot two other bystanders, a customer and a salesman. Lee was shot in the chest and died, while Ng alone escaped after stealing a woman's station-wagon as his getaway vehicle.
Ng fled to his native state of Penang in Malaysia, where he was arrested a year later on 29 December 1993, and extradited to Singapore, where he was charged under the Arms Offences Act for armed robbery and illegal discharge of a firearm to cause injury. Ng was found guilty and sentenced to death in September 1994, and he was hanged on 14 July 1995 after losing his appeal.[1]
