SINGAPORE - A man was riding his motorcycle in a negligent manner in September 2018 when it hit an elderly pedestrian who later died in hospital.
In an unrelated incident in December that year, Muhammad Sadiq Syed Kadir's motorcycle struck a mirror on the right side of a car at a carpark in Yishun.
Instead of apologising, Sadiq reacted aggressively and used criminal force on the driver. Sadiq also verbally abused the man with racial slurs and said: "You eat pork, that's why stupid."
The 29-year-old Singaporean was on Monday (July 26) sentenced to 12 weeks' jail and a fine of $1,000. He was also disqualified from driving all classes of vehicles for five years.
Sadiq had pleaded guilty to five charges for offences including causing a fatal accident by riding in a negligent manner and using criminal force on another person.
Addressing Sadiq in court on Monday, District Judge Marvin Bay said: "You are a persistent risk to road users due to your grossly unsafe operating of your motorcycle as well as repeated instances of boorish and reckless behaviour from instances which can only be interpreted as road rage incidents."
