A cabby was jailed for three weeks on Wednesday after trying to bribe an auxiliary policeman who caught him running a red light.
Ng Liew Kong, 69, offered $50 to the officer who stopped him outside the Changi Airport Budget Terminal.
He was also fined $800 on Wednesday for ignoring the traffic signal.
The court heard that Staff Sergeant Isaac Pandian LPP Raja was on patrol duty at the terminal in February this year when he saw Ng's SMRT taxi drive through a pedestrian crossing without stopping for the red light.
