Taxi driver who sprayed insecticide at another cabby over road rage incident jailed

Upset at a taxi driver who shouted vulgarities at him, another taxi driver lit a spray of insecticide at him in an attempt to burn him. In what the District Judge described as a “novel” case due to the choice of weapon, Singaporean Ng Soon Kim, 66, was jailed for 14 months’ and disqualified from driving for 18 months after he admitted to one count of voluntarily causing hurt with a weapon. Ng, who has since lost his job as a taxi driver, was also ordered to pay compensation of $115 to fellow taxi driver, 61-year-old Lam Choon Chai.
