Let me understand this better; the man drinks & drives,
crashes into Police car, drove without due care (or carelessly),
and is only subjected to $5000 and possibly 6 months jail? For
driving without due care, $1000 fine & or 6 months jail
term??
Could it be his achievements?

BreadTalk's founder charged with drink-driving
SINGAPORE : BreadTalk's founder and managing director, George Quek,
has been charged with drink-driving.
The 48-year-old also faces another charge of driving without due
care or reasonable consideration.
The Subordinate Courts heard that in the early hours of 8 October
2004, Mr Quek had apparently lost control of his Porsche, and
crashed into a police car at a road block along Ang Mo Kio Avenue
1.
He is believed to have been drunk at that time.
It is not known if anyone was seriously injured in the
accident.
Another vehicle was also involved in the collision.
The entrepreneur, who runs the bakery chain BreadTalk, is out on
S$5,000 bail.
He is expected to appear in court again next month.
If found guilty, the businessman may be fined S$5,000, or jailed
for up to six months.
He may also lose his driver's licence.
For the charge of driving without due care, he could face a fine of
S$1,000 and a six-month jail term.
Mr Quek, who holds an honorary PhD in Business Administration, was
the winner of the "Entrepreneur of the Year" award in 2002. - CNA
