Seems like the penalties for road traffic offences (such as drink driving) will soon be up for review — Senior Minister of State for Home Affairs and National Development, Desmond Lee, stated that more stringent penalties would act as a stronger deterrent against irresponsible drivers.
According to The Straits Times, he said the government "will seek to increase the penalties for offences that result in death or hurt to others", and pointed in particular to examples where drivers are repeat offenders or are intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.
