On Monday, Xu Yuanyuan, 19, a Chinese national, was fined $1,500 after she admitted to causing hurt to cleaner Lock Wai Chee, 42, by doing a negligent act as to endanger his life.
The court heard that Xu, a student, was waiting at the pavement of the Jalan Bukit Merah by Henderson Road junction on Dec 21 last year when she took a step forward when the traffic signal was against her.
As a result, she collided into the cyclist who was cycling towards her from her right side along Henderson Road.
Mr Lock was thrown off the bicycle and suffered serious head injuries. He died at 10.19pm.
Xu could have been jailed for up to six months and/or fined up to $2,500.
