Singapore: A court in Singapore banned an Indian national from driving for five years after holding him
responsible for an accident in which a Malaysian tourist was killed.
Paramasivam Bharathi (46) pleaded guilty to causing the death of Malaysian motorist Lim Shung Ren for negligent driving.
Bharathi, who was driving a lorry, had taken a turn into the main street from a minor road but failed to keep a proper look out for traffic in Singapore's industrial estate on June 27 last year.
He encroached into the path of Lim (28) causing his car to crash. Lim died of his injuries nine days later in hospital.
Lim's pillion rider, Lai Li Theng (25) was hospitalized for a day and given a medical leave till September 17.
District Judge Janet Wang took into account Bharathi's previous good driving commendation and that he had pleaded guilty at the outset.
But a second charge of causing grievous hurt to the pillion rider was taken into account. The court also imposed a fine of Singapore Dollar 8,500 on him.
