Kaw Yung Chee, 35, was accused of stabbing and killing Jusmani Duragan outside the Maple Karaoke Lounge at 3.26am on Jan 4.
No plea was recorded after the charge was read out to him at the magistrates’ court here.
Magistrate Lovely Natasha Charles fixed Feb 28 for mention of the case.
She also ordered Kaw to be remanded as there is no provision for bail for murder cases.
