On 22 January 1988, 20-year-old Bangladeshi national Mohamed Shafiqul Islam, alias Mohd Abdul Islam, was found murdered at a construction site at Bukit Timah, with his genitals being severed off. Within the following month, the police managed to apprehend two Bangladeshi workers, who were responsible for causing Mohamed Shafiqul's death. The two suspects - Mohamed Bachu Miah and Mohamed Mahmuduzzaman Khan - were revealed to have killed Mohamed Shafiqul after the former's younger brother was arrested for illegally working in Singapore due to Mohamed Shafiqul allegedly reporting the matter to the police, which made Mohamed Bachu angered and therefore conspired with Mahmuduzzaman to kill Mohamed Shafiqul. After standing trial for 18 days in March 1991, Mohamed Bachu and Mahmuduzzaman were both found guilty of murdering Mohamed Shafiqul and sentenced to death by the High Court. Both the murderers were hanged on 23 July 1993 after their appeals were rejected by the higher courts and the President of Singapore.
