Pulau Bukom Hospital + Pulau Senang detainee

There was a case of rayfish sting by a prisoner at Pulau Senang. He "suffered excruciating pain after being stung on the sole of the foot, despite his wearing a thick pair of leather boots at that time"[1].

Oh my! I wonder if this detainee was one of those released successfully after going through rehabilitation, or is he one who revolted against the authority? And if he did, was the one of them who was hanged, or was meted with life imprisonment or was released after some time in jail?
