The man sustained second-degree burns on his neck and shoulders.
Police Coast Guard intercepted an Indonesia-bound ferry to arrest a passenger suspected of pouring hot water on a man four hours earlier in Macpherson.
The man sustained second-degree burns on his neck and shoulders, and was conscious when taken to the hospital. With the aid of images from police cameras and coordination between officers from the Police Operations Command Centre, Bedok Police Division and Police Intelligence Department, it was established that the suspect was a 28-year-old woman.
Investigations revealed that the woman knew the victim and purportedly took steps to conceal her identity, including masking her face during the assault and changing her attire thereafter. The attire that she wore during the assault was also seized.

Indonesia volcano erupts, spews tower of smoke and ashJAKARTA – Indonesia’s Mount Ili Lewotolok erupted on Friday, belching a tower of smoke and ash almost a kilometre into the sky and prompting the authorities to impose a no-go zone in the area. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from the eruption, which sent up a tower of volcanic smoke 700 metres high in a remote part of the South-east Asian archipelago nation. But the authorities imposed an exclusion zone of 2km around the crater in East Nusa Tenggara province and advised nearby residents to wear masks to avoid respiratory problems, the Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Centre said. Mr Sugeng Mujiyanto, head of the country’s geological agency, warned residents in a statement to be alert for “potential dangers from lava flows and hot clouds”. The volcano’s last major eruption came in late 2020, triggering a flight warning and shuttering the local airport while thousands were forced to flee their homes. Ili Lewotolok’s alert status remained at its third-highest level after Friday’s eruption and the authorities were yet to order any evacuations. Indonesia is home to about 130 active volcanoes due to its position on the “Ring of Fire”, a belt of tectonic plate boundaries circling the Pacific Ocean where frequent seismic activity occurs. In late 2018, a volcano in the strait between Java and Sumatra islands erupted, causing an underwater landslide that unleashed a tsunami which killed more than 400 people.
