SINGAPORE: A court on Thursday (May 14) allowed a former chief of the air force accused of traffic offences to travel overseas with certain conditions in place.
Goh Yong Siang, 74, was allowed to travel to Jakarta, Indonesia from May 19 to May 22 for business, and to Bangkok, Thailand from Jun 3 to Jun 6 for work-related reasons.
The Singaporean will have to furnish an additional bail sum of S$5,000 (US$3,930) on top of his existing bail of S$10,000 and comply with other conditions such as giving a complete travel itinerary to the investigation officer before departure.
Goh, who was a fighter pilot in the Republic of Singapore Air Force and retired as chief of air force in 1998, was first charged in April with two charges for driving without reasonable consideration for other road users.
