flag A Singaporean man was jailed for evading police at high speed, hitting a divider, and nearly hitting pedestrians, prompting a harsh sentence and new safety measures.

flag A 46-year-old Singaporean man, Ho Whai Keet, was sentenced to eight months and two weeks in jail and given an eight-year driving ban for dangerously evading police in February 2025, after speeding up to 115 km/h in a 50 km/h zone, driving against traffic, and running red lights in residential areas. flag The incident, which included striking a divider and narrowly missing pedestrians, prompted a judge to reject a lighter sentence, emphasizing deterrence due to the high risk to public safety. flag Ho, a repeat offender with a history of traffic violations since 2006, received consecutive sentences for multiple charges. flag The case reflects growing concerns over road safety, as Singapore saw a five-year high in traffic fatalities and injuries in 2024 and continued increases in early 2025, with speeding a major factor. flag In response, authorities plan to deploy new cameras to detect dangerous driving behaviors like illegal U-turns and crossing double white lines.
