The father of a Kiwi facing up to 10 years in Singapore's notorious Changi Prison and a caning travelled with him last week when he finally turned himself in.

 

Robert Stephen Dahlberg, a stock broker and former junior Tall Black basketballer, appeared in a Singapore court last week charged with causing grievous bodily harm - relating to an alleged booze-fuelled altercation in April 2010 in which two locals were injured.

 

Dad Bill Dahlberg, a trustee of the Canterbury Community Trust, said despite his son having skipped the country in July last year, he had always been keen to honour his obligations, though he would defend the charges.

 

"Robert did the right thing by going to the police in the days after the incident and voluntarily giving a statement. He continued to be concerned about the welfare of Mr Liew [one of the injured] and made repeated offers to pay for medical expenses and arrange for him to see a specialist.

 

"Robert stayed in Singapore, gaining permanent residency status, for 14 months after the incident. It was a shock to us all when charges were laid."

 

Last July, he paid a $23,000 bond to travel for business while on bail. He promised to return to Singapore, but skipped to New Zealand.

 

Dahlberg returned to Singapore and was arrested upon arrival and appeared in court. His next court date is in two weeks.

If his son is keen to honour his obligations, then why did he skip bail and skip to New Zealand? Want to b-------t must at least give something plausible meh.

So he hurt someone, arrested. While he wait for his trial, our beloved government decided to grant him permanent residency. He went on bail, applied successfully to go overseas and decided not to come back. What an amazing legal system and immigation system we have! :angry:

 

Then this question begs, why did he come back?

maybe has assets here? (ie a house etc?) imagine if you have a 2mil condo here and you cant cash out with a pending warrant on your head. (thats my assumption)

 

secondly, how the hell did he get PR when I know of better standing people who cant even get after 2-3 tries? :/

 

sigh ... maybe we need him for the Olympic boxing team ..

No come back, no sentence, no jail, no caning. Why bargain when he can get away from all that? Or NZ got extradition treaty with SG so he die die must come back?

Money can earn back lah. If he's that good, he will get back that money with the time he spent in jail.

 

If he really did have a property in singapore, what will happen to it if he doesn't come back??? Who get it? [confused]

[TVT]

What a stupid excuse his Dad made! Already son did wrong and want to defend him.

 

ICA should cancel his PR status after he is dealt with, by the law!

previously...his father said this...

 

"

His father, Nelson financial adviser Bill Dahlberg, said his son would not be returning to Singapore.

 

He declined to comment further.

 

"The less said the better."

 

Robert had returned to Nelson since the incident, but his father would not say where he was now."

[Darryn]

What to defend? If he is guilty he will get what he deserves.

 

Run away instead of face the music he is moran.

His name is listed with Interpol. I think it's the fear of not being able to travel outside of NZ for the rest of his life.

He skipped bail means got warrant over his head....go where also will have wanted warrants no? Means he cant travel...can only stay in NZ.....I'm surprised SG and NZ has no extradition treaty despite being part of the commonwealth countries...maybe they dont agree to our death sentences .....
