SINGAPORE - A financial adviser who struck a taxi driver several times on his face and chest and choked him was sentenced to six weeks' jail on Tuesday.
Mark Ho Chia Hwa, 37, who was drunk at the time, is considering an appeal and was freed on $15,000 bail.
He admitted to causing hurt to taxi driver Wong Siew Mun, 53, at the open air carpark of Block 16 Ghim Moh Road at about 5.50am on Aug 16 last year.
The court heard Mr Wong picked up Ho and a female friend at Orchard Towers at about 4.45am that day after Ho had drinks with friends at Orchard KTV.
