<!-- end left side bar --> <!-- story content : start --> A SALES promoter was sentenced to eight months' jail on Wednesday for punching a press photographer at a pedestrian crossing. Lew Sze Kai, 32, had admitted to grievously hurting Singapore Press Holdings' photographer Desmond Wee, 49, who suffered a fracture of his left orbit on April 7 last year. A district court heard that the victim had stopped his car at the pedestrian crossing between Lucky Plaza and Tangs department store when a security guard signalled to him to drive on. Suddenly, the victim heard a loud bang. He looked at his rear view mirror and saw Lew kicking the right passenger door of his vehicle. After parking his car by the side of the driveway, Mr Wee confronted Lew, who threw a punch on his face during an argument. Lew, who had his sentence deferred to April 14 to settle his personal affairs, could have been jailed for up to 10 years and fined or caned.
