Shane Pow, who is previously a Mediacorp actor, has been imprisoned for five weeks, fined S$6,000 (RM18,589.55) and banned from driving for five years today after driving his van while drunk in the Bugis area last year.
The 30-year-old Singaporean pleaded guilty in the State Courts to one count of drink-driving under the Road Traffic Act.
He began serving his jail time immediately.
This has been his second conviction related to drink-driving, the first which was on July 2014 at the age of 23. He had been fined for S$2,300 for his first offense and for driving without due care and attention after acquiring his license that same year.
Repeat offenders would be indicted with hefty punishment which includes a driving ban of at least five years, up to two years’ jail, and a fine of between S$5,000 and S$20,000.
