    Whether your son can be granted bail depends on the Court, a police officer who is not below the rank of sergeant and other law enforcement officers who have the discretion to grant bail. Your son may consider applying for the Criminal Legal Aid Scheme (CLAS) but he is subject to Means test and Merits test. Please see http://probono.lawsociety.org.sg/Pages/Criminal-Legal-Aid-Scheme.aspx for more details on the application process.
