SINGAPORE: A drunk German chief executive was given two weeks' jail and fined $1,000 for slapping a taxi driver and kicking his vehicle after the cabby had declined to pick him up.
Jochen Thewes, 45, of DB Schenker Logistics (Asia Pacific), had earlier paid $2,950 in compensation to the driver and apologised to him in court. He also paid $250 for repair work on the damaged cab.
