The accident led to the death of his two passengers.

On Sept 4, Ong Wei Long, 28, was sentenced to two years' jail after pleading guilty to dangerous driving, causing the death of Shannon Lim Xin Rong and her boyfriend, Tan Bing Quan, both 26.

Ong will also be disqualified from driving for 10 years from the date of his release.

The court heard that on Aug 10, 2023, Ong drove his 26-year-old second-hand car to pick up Mr Tan from his home in Kovan. The pair then went to the gym, before picking Ms Lim up.

Ms Lim sat in the front passenger seat, while Mr Tan sat behind her in the rear seat. Ong then drove them to Seletar. The trio had planned to go to a spot near Seletar Aerospace Drive to spend time together and chat.
