Man gets 14 days short detention order for punching cabby; prosecution appealing
By Elena Chong
SINGAPORE - An insurance agent was sentenced to a 14-day short detention order (SDO) on Tuesday for punching a taxi driver.
The prosecution, which had asked for a longer five-week jail sentence for Joachim Gabriel Lai Zhen, successfully applied for a stay of the sentence, pending its appeal.
The 23-year-old had admitted to punching Mr Tan Keon Chae, 55 in the face in November last year.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Joshua Lim said Lai had been drinking at Clarke Quay with his friends on the evening of May 18, 2013, and had been intoxicated.
