A motorist was charged on Tuesday with causing the death of a cabby in a hit and run accident along an expressway last August.
Malaysian Yeo Yee Kuan, 30, an IT consultant, faces four charges.
He is alleged to have caused the death of Mr Foo Ching Fwee while the 72-year-old was walking towards the driver's side door of his taxi which had stopped at the left road shoulder of the Pan-Island Expressway at about 1.20am on Aug 12, 2011.
Mr Foo had apparently stopped along the road shoulder to retrieve a plastic bag from the boot of the vehicle for a passenger who felt sick.
