A 58-YEAR-OLD doctor sentenced to two weeks' jail last week for drink driving has filed an appeal against her sentence. Irene Lim Kay Han, a senior consultant radiologist at the KK Women's and Children's Hospital, who was also banned from driving for four years, is on bail pending the appeal hearing. Lim had pleaded guilty to a charge of drink driving between 9pm on April 26 and 1.30am the following morning. Some time after 1.30am, her stationary car - with the engine running, headlights turned on and hazard lights off - was spotted on the third lane of the Pan Island Expressway in the direction of Tuas, near the Clementi Avenue 6 exit. A patrol officer with the Expressway Monitoring Advisory System who checked on the car, noticed the woman smelt of alcohol. A Traffic Police officer was sent to the scene. Lim failed a breathalyser test and was arrested.
