A PART-TIME cabby was jailed for six weeks on Wednesday for throwing a punch at a cabby's nose.
Lim Boon Inn, 39, admitted to causing hurt to Mr Chia Weng Kwok, 59, along Outram Road on Sept 16, 2009.
The court heard that Lim and his girlfriend were in Mr Chia's cab when he started shouting and hurling vulgarities at the victim for taking the Central Expressway (CTE) route to get to Ang Mo Kio.
The victim did not argue but explained that taking the CTE was a shorter way to reach Ang Mo Kio as Lim had wanted to be there in 15 minutes.
