Serious Sinkie Judge Sends Barbaric Sinkie Off To Jail For Trying To Kill Unique FT Cyclist Eric Cheung With A Lorry! Justice Served!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE: A lorry driver who was involved in a collision with a cyclist in Pasir Ris two years ago will have to serve jail time after his appeals against the sentence and conviction were dismissed on Monday (Jul 20).

Driver Teo Seng Tiong, 59, had been found guilty after a trial of swerving suddenly into cyclist Eric Cheung Hoyu along Pasir Ris Drive 3 towards New Loyang Link on Dec 22, 2018.

He was sentenced to seven weeks' jail, a fine of S$500 and a driving ban of two years in January for one count of causing hurt by rash driving, and another charge of failing to make a police report within 24 hours of the accident.


Teo tried appealing against his conviction and sentence, with lawyer Tan Hee Joek arguing his main case that it had not been proven beyond reasonable doubt during the trial that a collision had occurred.

Video clips showing part of the altercation went viral around the time of the incident, with a petition set up online urging the traffic police to return Teo his impounded lorry.

JUDGE QUESTIONS DEFENCE'S ARGUMENTS

Justice Chan Seng Onn raised several questions in response to Mr Tan's arguments, asking him "you mean the cyclist fell off on his own?" and asking the lawyer how he expected him to "buy" his defence if the district judge had not bought the same defence during the trial.

Justice Chan said that even if the hurt to the cyclist had been indirectly caused, the hurt was still caused as a result of Teo's actions.

"This lorry driver did a very rash act to 'squeeze' the cyclist, that he had no choice but to fall off and hurt himself," said the judge.

Mr Tan argued that Teo had heard "a long horn" from behind him, followed by a sound which he thought was the sound of the taxi colliding into him, and so swerved into the cyclist's path to avoid the taxi.

"What long horn?" answered Justice Chan. "Many people 'horn' me, I don't care. Basically you just ignore the horn. Cannot be - if someone horns you from behind, you just run into somebody in front. (It) cannot be, right."

However, Justice Chan acknowledged that the cyclist was "one-of-a-kind also", after hearing the lawyer's arguments.

The foreigner is officially "one-of-a-kind". He's unique! We should reward such foreigners with a suitable leadership role in a corporation, not jail because of his nationality.

Verdict right after election too.

Verdict right after election too.

The power of a dictatorship: you can withhold information regarding the economy, a public health crisis and other bad news then release that information at a politically expedient time.

Verdict right after election too.

Precisely what I was going to say. Crafty bunch of assholes, I urge sinkies to not forget this.

K.N.N.

PUNISHER, -- You must enlarge your scope to include such riders.!!
In addition to reckless PMDs.

 

[LordElrond]

Sorry I have to agree with the judgement. Yes the cyclist is sibeh sia lang and deserves a punch on his face. But no Drivers should get away with using a vehicle against a cyclist in the way he did. That is no pitiful old man.

He should be jailed just for having a face only a mother could love.

I guarantee it'll be forgotten. It has been forgotten over and over again every election. Sinkies deserves the government and life they voted for. Good luck!

I hope and pray nobody has to share the road with Justice Chan
