Court jails Hong Kong TV star Mat Yeung, rejects appeal against 18-day prison sentence for careless driving

Hong Kong television star Mat Yeung Ming lost his appeal against an 18-day jail sentence for careless driving, after the judge highlighted there was “ironclad” proof against him and the penalty was already lenient given the seriousness of the offence.

The 41-year-old TVB actor on Thursday left the High Court in a prison van as he was immediately escorted to Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre to serve the jail term a magistrate had imposed on him last year.
