A truck driver was jailed for seven weeks on Monday over a hit-and-run accident that left a cyclist dead.
Chinese national Sun Xiangjian ran over the victim after failing to keep a proper lookout at a roundabout.
Instead of stopping to help, he drove off as the cyclist lay dying.
On Monday, Sun was handed the jail sentence and a five-year driving ban after pleading guilty to causing death by negligence and failing to render assistance at the scene of an accident.
The court heard that the 37-year-old was driving from a construction site in his company's tipper truck when the accident happened last November.
When he got to the roundabout on Fort Road, he failed to see Chinese national Li Jinwei cycling ahead.
The front left part of his truck hit the 46-year-old victim, who fell off his bicycle and was run over, Deputy Public Prosecutor Vikneswaran Kumaran told the court.
Mr Li suffered multiple injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene 20 minutes later.
