SINGAPORE \u2013 A man who allowed his two young sons to sit on the boot of his Porsche car as he drove was fined $5,000 on July 29.<\/p>\n
Prem Anan Sugunakumar, 40, a Singaporean, was also disqualified from driving for six months after pleading guilty to one count of committing a rash act to endanger the personal safety of children below the age of 14.<\/p>\n
The court heard that Prem had wanted to spend time on Oct 20, 2025, with his two sons, who were aged seven and eight.<\/p>\n
Thinking he could create an enjoyable experience for the boys, he placed them seated on the boot<\/span><\/a> of his car facing backwards, and drove the vehicle along Dairy Farm Lane.<\/p>\n His wife recorded a video of the incident, which was posted online.<\/p>\n As Prem was driving, another driver witnessed the stunt and lodged a police report.<\/p>\n Prem was arrested on March 12<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n Deputy Public Prosecutor Cheryl Tan sought a fine of $5,000 and a driving disqualification of six months for Prem.<\/p>\n She said that as the boys\u2019 father, he should have prioritised their safety, but deliberately exposed them to danger.<\/p>\n She also said Prem had multiple prior convictions for traffic offences dating back to 2004. Several were speeding offences, for which he was fined.<\/p>\n In sentencing, Deputy Principal District Judge\u00a0Kessler Soh\u00a0said: \u201cHaving looked at your driving record, I am quite concerned that you seem to not have regard for traffic laws. I hope this is something you will bear in mind when you drive (in the future).\u201d<\/p>\n Soh said the maximum fine should be imposed for the purpose of deterrence, and to remind him not to do anything so rash again.<\/p>\n For committing a rash act which endangers the safety of children below the age of 14, an offender can be fined up to $5,000, jailed for up to a year, or both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n SINGAPORE \u2013 A man who allowed his two young sons to sit on the boot of his Porsche car as he drove was fined $5,000…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":72616,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-72615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=72615"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72615\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/72616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=72615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=72615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=72615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
