SINGAPORE: Former actor Edmund Chen has appealed against the five-day jail sentence handed to him for his role in an accident that left a motorcyclist with multiple wrist fractures.

District Judge Shawn Ho had imposed the sentence on Thursday (Jan 29) despite the prosecution asking for only a fine of between S$3,000 and S$5,000.
