Doctor's jail term cut to $5k fine for drink driving

[edsonchan]

so if no one is injured she deserves a lesser sentense?

hey if i grow my own weed for own consumption..would i get a lesser sentense?

it should be "thank god nobody's killed or injured because of her actions" not "no one is killed/injured so a slap on the wrist would do"

am afraid in Singapore... some of the law doesn't make sense...

If you grow your weed for own consumption, in other countries, you get a lighter sentence...

In some cases, I do agree that if no one is killed or injured, the person committing an offense should get a lighter sentence... then again, it is a fine line sometimes..

I hope you have followed this case: no one was injured. Don't know how this translates to trauma because of her actions.

we are talking about trauma - not about sentence. so your point is quite pointless i am afraid.

what terrenceterrence said r correct. we should be gratefully that no 1 is injured because of her actions or else this doc will be in deep shi* and what terrenceterrence did was just to quote an example meaning u sow what u reap. Well R-oyster it u yourself that said that it will be quite traumatic for the doc if she was to be jailed. if she did not do illegal things, do u think this will happen? traumatic for the doc? haha imagine really got victims then i guess the doc really will need to get traumatic and come on, the alcohol level is way over the legal limit. my own personal opinions r that she should receive a more heavy sentence but what chould have saved her was maybe she is a doc that help a lot of ppl so the law is compassionate haha or maybe got what other factors i do not know

on the flip side.. this case would be a god send for those caught drunk driving in the future.

this would set a precedent for cases in the future.

e.g. i was out drinking in St James and got a phone call that my dog/goldfish CMI anymore. too traumatised to think straight and decided to drive home to make it for the last few minutes of by beloved dog/fish.

if my alcohol level is lower than 4 times the permitted level and no one is hurt you better not fine me more than 5k.

Ha ha.... that's a good one.... ha ha.... but it is a precedent for DOCTORS who commit the same case in the future, are you a Doctor? ha ha....

haha good 1

[toffeesthings]

Haha, I agree, good one too! This is how common/case law should work anyway.

And all Bros here , I'm sure the work that we do benefit others too!

Whatever it is, I'm glad she was under the influence driving, not when performing surgery. Now, that'll be a good one!

Young man, if do not know, better talk less better than to talk more. And when talking about serious issues, please do not interject with haha because it tends to trivialize the discussion. Thank you for your patience in reading this.
