<!-- story content : start -->
A 59-YEAR-OLD doctor who appealed against her two-week jail term for drink driving has had the sentence reduced to a $5,000 fine.
Dr Irene Lim Kay Hian, a senior consultant radiologist at the KK Women's and Children's Hospital, looked relieved after her appeal was allowed. She remains banned from driving for four years.
Justice Chao Hick Tin said he will give written reasons for his decision at a later date.
Dr Lim's lawyer, Senior Counsel Sant Singh, argued that her decision to drive was not deliberate but arose out of her distraught state when she got a phone call in the middle of the night saying that a close aunt was in a bad state in hospital.
On her way to the National University Hospital, Dr Lim's car stalled along the Pan Island Expressway 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 and the Traffic Police was called in. A breathalyser test at the police station showed she had 129 mcg of alcohol per 100 ml of breath, nearly four times the legal limit of 35 mcg.

=> Can be driven to go drinking cos Aunt kena hospitalized. What fcuking logic is this? And worse still the Kangaroo Court can actually accept this as a valid reason. Do the FAPee Traitors really think that Sporns are zombies?

No one verify if the Aunt was really in a bad state? Even if she was, Dr Lim has the alternative of taking a taxi.

Wealth and high society has it privileges, the laws of the land can bend over for you.

What's new? Singkieland is a country with one set of laws for the elites and another set for the peasants.

Reason? Judge under pressure by animal rights and SPCA. It's cruel to Jail Dogs. And Singapore is not prepared for a Dog Jail.....paid fines with "bones"of the dead.
