AGC appealing sentence of Brit, 22, who assaulted S'porean PHV driver, 66, calls it 'manifestly inadequate'
Low Ek Yong, the PHV driver, passed away a year after the assault and never woke from his coma.
The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) is appealing the sentence handed to British national Oruche Morgan Fidelis, 22, for assaulting 66-year-old private-hire vehicle driver Low Ek Yong in Singapore. The AGC has labelled the sentence as "manifestly inadequate". The case revolves around the amended charge of assault, which Morgan pleaded guilty to on July 17, 2026.
The initial charge was for voluntarily causing hurt resulting in grievous harm. The judge deemed the sentence as inadequate because of Morgan's intoxication, his young age, and the clean record he had maintained.
