Summary

• Cyclist Lester Lu Su Min, 49, was jailed two months after pleading guilty to causing death by a rash act at Upper Bukit Timah Road.
• On March 6, 2024, Lu cycled through a red light, hitting a 70-year-old pedestrian who died in hospital after the accident.
• More people were killed or injured in road traffic accidents in the first half of 2025, compared with the same period a year ago.

How did they ever conclude the jail term of 2 months only.
Does having 20 years of "exemplary public service" offset the weight of the crime?

Where in article talk about 20 years of exemplary public service

The fact is this moron ran the light and killed someone. He knew what he did was dangerous

 

[Dracky]

Where in the article was it written that he has, and was taken into consideration, 20 years of "exemplary public service"?

He must be some grassroot leader or civil servant. The jail term is light punishment for a reckless killer.

He has "examplary public service". Being paid to do his job also can be an excuse now lol

Ha

Haha!

Lawyer said led 20 years of exemplary life
Not 20 years of exemplary civil service
He could have spent 20 years sleeping in civil service which is not impossible

Either pedestrian walkway or road. I prefer they ride on road so they don’t injured others.

Now they ride on road also killed someone.

Now they ride on road also killed someone.

Cyclist ride on pavement can knock and kill people.
Cyclist ride on road can knock and kill people.
Quite obvious who is the problem.
PMD knock people on footpath get ban from footpath. LTA should not have double standard and should just ban cycling on footpath and road for public safety.
