The incident apparently took place at about 7pm on 9 Nov.
Speaking to ST, Chai’s lawyer said that he was charged at Changi General Hospital. However, she did not have any information on why he was there in the first place.
The court has adjourned Chai’s case to next Friday (25 Nov).
Anyone convicted of murder faces the death penalty.
Ms Ang reportedly went missing on 9 Nov. Her friends and family thereafter took to social media to seek information on her whereabouts.
They later lodged a missing person’s report on 10 Nov.
On Sunday (13 Nov), the police found Ms Ang’s body at a shop along Beach Road. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.
The authorities identified Chai in connection to the case but found that he had left Singapore for Malaysia on 10 Nov.
With the help of their Malaysian counterparts, the police arrested Chai in Johor on Wednesday (16 Nov) and handed him over to the authorities in Singapore.
