Intoxicated Women Assaulted by 2 Foreign Workers in Tuas

Two Bangladeshi workers, Alam Foysal, 38, and Ahmed Rayhan, 32, encountered a heavily intoxicated woman on a late-night train journey and decided to take advantage of her vulnerable state. On March 8, 2022, the two men boarded the train after drinking with a friend and noticed the 32-year-old woman behaving erratically. She was walking unsteadily, sitting on the floor, and was clearly intoxicated.

Upon reaching Tuas West Road station, Foysal and Rayhan decided to escort the woman off the train. Foysal guided her down the escalator, while Rayhan followed closely behind. When station staff noticed the woman struggling to exit through the gantry, Foysal falsely claimed they were helping her get home.

The men led her to a dark area under the Tuas Viaduct, where Foysal raped her twice, while Rayhan molested her and attempted to rape her but failed after several tries. After the assault, the two men left the scene and returned to their dormitory by taxi.

The next morning, at around 7:10 a.m., a passerby found the victim lying partially undressed and bleeding from the head. The police were alerted, and the men were arrested later that day. Foysal’s DNA was found on the victim, confirming the rape, while Rayhan’s DNA was discovered on the interior of his jeans.

Rayhan, who pleaded guilty to attempted rape, was sentenced to nine years in jail and nine strokes of the cane. Foysal’s case is still pending.
