SINGAPORE — After having some drinks at the bar where he worked, Pua Yui Loon, 28, drove on the BKE at an «extreme speed» of 141kmh in the early hours of Feb 6. The Malaysian then hit a motorcycle, killing the motorcyclist and injuring the pillion rider. But instead of stopping, Pua drove across the Causeway back to his condo in Johor Bahru, and was only caught when he tried to enter Singapore via bus the next day. On Sept 10, Pua was jailed for three years and 10 months, and was disqualified from driving for 10 years after pleading guilty to one charge of dangerous driving causing death. Another five charges, relating to failing to render assistance, failing to report the accident, failing to stop, moving the car and dangerous driving causing hurt, were taken into consideration for the sentence.
