Shawn Loo Zhi Jian allegedly met with M Ravi, a former lawyer, to consume methamphetamine, according to the document dated Dec 26. Ravi subsequently died, according to a separate statement from the Central Narcotics Bureau and the Singapore Police. Loo, who according to his LinkedIn profile was employed as an assistant vice president at Bank of America in Singapore, didn’t respond to an email query for comment. Citizens or residents found to have consumed drugs overseas may face the same penalties as those who do so within the city-state. Ravi was part of a group of lawyers who acted in a constitutional challenge in 2014 seeking to overturn a colonial law banning sex between men.
