An undated photo taken from a security camera shows Canadian bank robbery suspected David Roach as he arrives an airport in Bangkok. But Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs said Britain had sought assurances that if found guilty, Mr Roach would not face corporal punishment. UK extradition laws prohibit UK from extraditing Roach to Singapore in the absence of such an assurance," the ministry said in a statement. Mr Roach is wanted in Singapore on one count of robbery and one count of money laundering. Bank robberies are extremely rare in Singapore, whose zero-tolerance approach to crime has made it one of Asia's safest cities.
