A 22-year-old British citizen, Oruche Morgan Fidelis, who was a Singapore permanent resident, was accused of assaulting a Grab driver, Low Ek Yong, in June 2024. Low, a 65-year-old private hire vehicle driver, died a year later from heart disease and large bowel obstruction. Oruche, who had consumed alcohol prior to the incident, fell asleep in Low's vehicle and eventually got angry, pushing Low away.
Low subsequently struck his head on the ground, suffering a skull fracture and brain injury. He never regained full consciousness and passed away in June 2025. The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) appealed the sentence, deeming it "manifestly inadequate," and filed two notices of appeal in the High Court.
