Ong was previously arrested on the same day as Iswaran on Jul. 11, 2023.
He was listed as a witness for Iswaran's case before Iswaran decided to plead guilty.
The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) said they would decide again after the proceedings on Iswaran concluded.
Iswaran was sentenced to one year's jail after pleading guilty to five charges on Sep. 24.
