Man charged over driving Porsche with children on car boot

The case will return to court on Apr 22. 

Videos of the incident made their rounds on social media last year.

A TikTok video by @premroymotoring showed a shot of two young boys sitting on the top of the car boot before it was driven off.

In a shot, a man walks alongside the parked car, saying “life is too short” and there is “no point keeping for the next generation” because they can “earn their own money”.

Checks by CNA showed that the TikTok account belongs to car consignment firm Prem Roy Motoring and that the video had since been removed. 

In a statement on Wednesday, the police said that children must be properly secured when travelling in vehicles, and must not be placed in dangerous positions such as on car boots.

If convicted of rash act endangering the life of others, a person may be jailed for up to six months, fined up to S$2,500 (US$1,950) or both.

If the victim is below 14, the offender may face up to twice the maximum penalty
