SINGAPORE: Another motorist has been jailed and fined for tampering his vehicle's fuel gauge and giving false information to a customs officer.
24-year-old Muhammad Ali Putra Hairom is the third motorist to be convicted in the last three months for the same offences. He was caught at the Woodlands Checkpoint on Tuesday.
A check by the customs officer showed that Muhammad Ali Putra's car fuel gauge had indicated a full tank when the actual amount of fuel was at the one-quarter mark.
He admitted to tampering with the fuel gauge reading with a remote control. He has been sentenced to two weeks' jail and fined S$500.
