British Citizen Sentenced to Short Detention and Community Service Following Altercation with Elderly PHV Driver

A 22-year-old British citizen and Singapore permanent resident named Oruche Morgan Fidelis appeared in court on September 7 clad in a black suit and face mask for his sentencing following an incident with a 66-year-old private-hire vehicle driver.
