Last September, 18-year-old Goh Pei Ling died in a tragic accident when the Uber car she was riding in got into a horrible collision with a stationary lorry along the Seletar Expressway. It was Singapore's first fatality (and the only one so far) involving the popular ride-sharing service.
The driver — 22-year-old undergrad Saddam Hussein Norazman — has since been sentenced to six weeks in jail and a five-year driving ban for causing the death of his rear seat passenger and injuring a van driver, reports The New Paper.
