A 22-year-old man, a British citizen and permanent resident, was sentenced to a short detention order and community service for assaulting a private hire vehicle driver. The driver, Low Ek Yong, passed away a year after the incident. The man had been drunk at the time of the assault.
The sentence has been appealed by the Attorney-General's Chambers, which considers it inadequate. Two notices of appeal have been filed with the High Court.
Further details about the incident and the appeal are available from the source, including the events surrounding the assault and the sentencing. The appeal will be heard at a later date.
