SINGAPORE: An intoxicated motorist who lost control of his Lexus at the Tuas checkpoint, causing an accident that left an auxiliary police officer in a vegetative state, had his jail term increased from 3½ years to five years on Friday (Dec 5).
The sentence imposed by High Court Judge Aidan Xu is higher than the four-year term that the prosecution had sought in its appeal against the original jail term handed down to Yoong Kok Kai, 44.
