The 71-year-old failed to convince the court he meets the "sick or infirm" exception for bail. SINGAPORE: Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon on Thursday (Oct 2) dismissed a bid by Indonesian fugitive Paulus Tannos to revive his application for bail. Tannos, 71, failed to convince the court that he is "sick or infirm" within the meaning of the law, which is one of the exceptions that would allow a fugitive to receive bail. By default, suspects arrested under the Extradition Act are not granted bail.
