Cabby jailed for knocking down and killing passenger he was trying to pick up
By Ian Poh
SINGAPORE - A cabby who knocked down and killed a passenger he was trying to pick up was sentenced to six months in prison and banned from driving for eight years on Thursday.
Tan Hie Koon, 51, had driven his vehicle into the Geylang area at around 4am on Sept 17, 2010, in search of a last fare for the night.
He ran into Ms Bui Thi Hon Mai, 31, who had just had supper with friends and was standing on the far right lane of Geylang Road to flag a taxi.
After knocking her down, Tan's vehicle mounted the kerb and crashed into a pillar supporting a row of shophouses.
