Patrick Ong Choon Hua, 52-years-old, pleaded guilty on 24 June to one count of performing a rash act and was sentenced to 2 weeks jail.
He had intentionally pointed a laser beam from a laser pointer at other motorists on the expressway because he wanted them to give way to his car.
Another charge was taken into consideration during sentencing.
What happened?
on 2 September 2020, Ong was driving behind the victim on the KPE towards MCE at around 5pm.
He flashed his car’s high beam and turned on the hazard light to signal to the victim, Mr Lim, to change lanes because he felt the victim was driving too slow.
Lim was unable to change lanes because there were other vehicles to his left at the time.
Ong then took out a laser pointer and shone it at Lim’s rear view mirror.
The victim felt irritation in his eyes and couldn’t focus on the road ahead briefly.
A netizen shared a photo online of a flyer about tuition services.
The flyer was littered with grammar mistakes after grammar mistakes, with made up terminologies about the teaching methods that they employ; such as the “Korean left brain”, “American pictorial memorisation method” and don’t even get me started on the “Chinese brain exercise”.
The flyer appears to have been made by an ill-qualified tutor, who spelled “you” as “u”, and misspelled “Hanyu Pinyin”.
The netizen then shared that she wouldn’t hire “this kind of tuition teacher”.
