Guess the nationality : Two-week detention for youth who punched cabby
Two-week detention for youth who punched cabby
Ian Poh The Straits Times Thursday, Oct 23, 2014
A drunk university student punched a taxi driver in the head several times over a $16.97 fare last year. Zeng Zhuangyong, who has since graduated, was yesterday sentenced to a two-week short detention order.
The short detention order is a community sentencing option that is intended to be less disruptive and stigmatising than jail.
On April 28 last year, Zeng, now 25, alighted from Mr Poon Cher Ming's vehicle after vomiting in it and tried to leave without paying. The cabby grabbed hold of Zeng twice to stop him from leaving. Zeng responded with a punch both times.
Mr Poon then grabbed Zeng a third time and both men fell to the ground after a short struggle.
Zeng then straddled the 54-year-old, who was lying on the ground, and punched him repeatedly while swearing at him. The cabby was left bloodied from a deep cut on his forehead.
Zeng, who was then a student at Singapore Management University, pleaded guilty to hurting Mr Poon in Lorong 4 Toa Payoh around 3am.
Assistant Public Prosecutor Puvaneswari Sandirasekaran said Zeng had been intoxicated at the time, and had assaulted a public transport worker in the wee hours of the morning.
Zeng's lawyer, Mr Sunil Sudheesan, said his client was 23 at the time and comes from a good family.
Pointing out that Zeng had paid $5,000 in compensation to Mr Poon to show his remorse, Mr Sudheesan said that what had happened was a one-off incident that represented a "total departure" from Zeng's character.
Mr Sudheesan added that Zeng had graduated recently from SMU and wants to pursue a career in the finance sector.
Zeng could have been jailed for up to two years and fined up to $5,000 for voluntarily hurting the cabby.

Why no caning for this kind of road rage? Ex-CJ Yong Pung How said that all road rage offenders should be caned. Why this foreign trash was given only a rap on his knuckle? It is like telling him it is alright to go around and whack sinkies, taxi drivers, etc, you will not be punished harshly, the laws are lenient to foreigners.

Considering the sentence given to the PRC shit for whacking the taxi driver and the jail term given to the jobless man, the court sent the message to remind sinkies to behave and the foreigners to run wild in the country.
What kind of Govt that allows foreigners to escape jail term for assault but send locals to jail for the same kind of offence.

Wow 3 weeks jail vs detention order. Really blatant discrimination of Singaporeans in own country. Singapore govt tak boleh!
Foreigners student on scholarship take our taxpayers money to take taxi.
the other case with 3 week jail look exactly the same offence and that Singaporean student was a first time offender but given 3 week jail. So what is the difference for this student to be given detention order. The judge ought to explain.
Kangaroo court are the best !
Foreigners , especially white trash or spoilt rich brat Tiongs virtually get away scot-free :oIo:
You voted for a govt that treats you like shit, so don't complain when you get treated like shit.
Time to stop playing nice.
He'll have a bright future when he graduates. Unlike the loser taxi uncle stuck in a dead end job.
One is SIM grad and one is SMU grad mah. The judge will tell you SIM is shit school and grads from there might as well go to jail. Whereas SMU grads must be given light sentence and second chances. hahahaha
how to complain about judges not carrying out justice in court? So unfair to discriminate one student over the other. Now the injustice affect the students and protestor, we must complain and shame the PAP for such injustice, who knows one day will be you or I affected.
