2010 Kallang slashings
The first three robberies
### The first three robberies

Later on, during the early hours of 30 May 2010, 24\-year\-old Indian national and construction worker **Sandeep Singh** was chatting with family members from [India](/wiki/India "India") on his phone while sitting on a [rocking horse](/wiki/Rocking_horse "Rocking horse") in a [playground](/wiki/Playground "Playground"), and while doing so, Sandeep was attacked by a group of four robbers. He was first hit on the head from behind by one of the attackers, 31\-year\-old Sarawakian **Tony Anak Imba**, with a brick. Sandeep was also slashed on the head, left forearm, left ear, and back with a parang by **Micheal Anak Garing**, Tony's 22\-year\-old accomplice. Sandeep was robbed of his mobile phone and wallet. The skull fracture exposed Sandeep's brain and broken bone chips were embedded on his brain. Medical experts later testified that the injury would have led to Sandeep's death from a brain infection, but he survived with timely medical intervention.

After robbing Sandeep, the four robbers \- Tony, Micheal, and two of their accomplices and fellow [Malaysians](/wiki/Malaysians "Malaysians") from [Sarawak](/wiki/Sarawak "Sarawak"), 19\-year\-old cleaner **Hairee Anak Landak** and 19\-year\-old **Donny Anak Meluda,** encountered 19\-year\-old [Singaporean](/wiki/Singaporeans "Singaporeans") **Ang Jun Heng** (). At that time, Ang was walking alone along a footpath beneath the MRT tracks near [Kallang MRT station](/wiki/Kallang_MRT_station "Kallang MRT station") after a late night out with his friends. Tony first kicked Ang. When Ang, then a full\-time [National Serviceman](/wiki/National_service_in_Singapore "National service in Singapore"), was about to defend himself, he was attacked by the other robbers, who punched, kicked, and slashed him. Ang's left palm was severed during the attack, causing him to lose the four fingers on his left hand. He also sustained head injuries and laceration wounds, including a deep wound on his neck which almost cut his [spinal cord](/wiki/Spinal_cord "Spinal cord"). Nine hours after the attack, Ang was spotted by a pedestrian who spotted him lying in an open field behind a school. Medical experts highlighted at the trial that this particular injury could have been fatal without timely medical care.

The third victim was 43\-year\-old Indian national **Egan Karrupaiah**. The [pipe fitter](/wiki/Pipefitter "Pipefitter") was similarly robbed of his mobile phone and wallet, and was assaulted by Micheal, Tony, and Donny (Hairee was not involved in the assault this time even though he had been there at the scene); this left him with several fractures and lacerations, and four of his fingers sliced off. Both of his arms were almost hacked to the bone.
