Road rage at Tanjong Katong: Biker smashes driver's window with fist Sep 30, 2014 6:00am PreviousNext By: ZUL OTHMAN Briton James George Palin, 33, struck fear in a couple when the motorcyclist confronted the driver and his passenger, abused them and then smashed their car window with his gloved fist. The window shattered and glass bits hurt the driver, Mr Chiang Pak Chien, 43, and his then fiancee, Ms Tan Hsu Phen, 42. They are both legal counsels. The incident occurred at Tanjong Katong Road on Nov 16. Yesterday, the State Courts saw what the former regional director of a recruitment company did on video footage captured by Mr Chiang's in-car camera.

Palin, who was the region director of a recruitment company here, was on a motorcycle when he jumped in to the bumper of a car while trying to overtake it on Tanjong Katon Road. The car, driven by Mr Chiang Pak Chien, a legal officer, had then overtaken the motorcyclist again before Palin rode up beside the car and hit the driverside window twice as he rode past. Mr Chiang, who was in the car with his girlfriend Valerie Tan Hsu Phen, had immediately stopped his car and asked his girlfriend to call the police. Following that, Palin came up to the car and punched the window, smashing it and cutting the two in the car with the glass piece. After that, he fled the scene. The incident happened on November 16 last year and they suffered small cuts to their bodies, face neck arms and legs. The judge ruled that Palins reaction to the road incident was disproportionate and totally excessive. She therefore imposed a jail term instead of just a fine. For road rage, Palin could have been failed up to 1 year and fined $5000. He is currently appealing against the sentence and is out on bai Ang moh not so tua Kee after all. Good job by the district judge. Hope he kenna deported after his jail term. Road rage won't be tolerated: Judge Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on email Source Straits Times Date 18 Nov 2014 AuthorK.C. Vijayan A DISTRICT judge made it clear that road hooliganism must never be tolerated, in condemning the conduct of a motorcyclist who traumatised a couple in a road rage case. District Judge Hamidah Ibrahim, who had sentenced motorcyclist James Palin to three weeks' jail on Oct 28, stated this in judgment grounds released early this month after the Briton filed an appeal against the decision. Palin, 33, a former regional director of a recruitment firm, punched the window of a Volkswagen in Tanjong Katong Road in November last year, shattering the glass, which cut the couple inside. The spat started when Palin hit the bumper of the Volkswagen driven by Mr Chiang Pak Chien, 43, while overtaking him. Mr Chiang then overtook Palin, who sped past him again and braked immediately in front of the car. Mr Chiang braked to avoid crashing into the motorcycle. Palin then walked over to the driver's side and punched the car window. The shattered glass cut Mr Chiang and his wife, Ms Valerie Tan, 42. She screamed and Palin left on his motorcycle. Ms Tan and her husband both suffered cuts on the body and face. More significant were the post-traumatic stress disorder injuries suffered by Ms Tan, which included insomnia, panic anxiety and poor appetite, according to psychiatric reports. Explaining her decision, the judge said "those persons who resort to violence because they were unhappy with other road users who cross their path must bear the full brunt of the law". Even if what Mr Chiang did was a "tad inconsiderate", she said Palin's rash reaction in punching the car window and endangering those in the vehicle was excessive. Assistant Public Prosecutor Koh Huimin had sought more than three weeks' jail while Palin's lawyer Shashi Nathan urged that a fine be imposed instead as Palin was genuinely remorseful and a first-time offender. Palin also offered to pay the couple's medical expenses but they declined. However, the judge pointed out that Palin "just rode away" after the incident and offered no help. "The expression of remorse being genuine sounded hollow in the light of what has happened, and it appeared to me that it was just a standard, run-of-the-mill mitigating factor added for good measure and nothing more," said the judge, adding that she had exercised "some leniency" in jailing Palin three weeks. Palin has withdrawn his appeal and began his jail term on Nov 7. Edited November 18, 2014 by Fcw75 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryn Turbocharged November 18, 2014 Share November 18, 2014 He hit n run first? Bump other car bumper and take off? Also the car driver was not innocent in all this...

Mr Chiang braked to avoid crashing into the motorcycle. seems like the angmoh tried to hit and run first lor. the VW did what any reasonable driver would do with involved in a hit and run. which is to catch up to the errant driver. but the angmoh then tried to zam break in front of the car. which is asking for it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
