A FORMER television game show host was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and lying to Singapore's traffic police, news reports said yesterday.
Benedict Goh, 37, is accused of being 1.5 times over the legal limit on Feb 18, 2004. He was also charged with falsely telling staff sergeant Khoo Kok Min that a woman, Tan Min Yee, was driving his car at the time, The Straits Times said.
Goh was scheduled on Wednesday to reappear in court on June 20.
If convicted of the false-information charge, Goh, who owns a spa, could be jailed for up to six months, be fined up to S$1,000 (RM2,250), or both.
For driving under the influence of alcohol, he would face a fine of between S$500 and S$5,000 (RM1,125 and RM11,250).
Goh also faces a separate charge of driving under the influence from a separate incident on Feb 10 when his car hit another vehicle. – dpa
