Former actor Huang Yiliang, real name Ng Aik Leong, was driving his van on 20 September 2023 when he collided with a cyclist, resulting in grievous injuries to the 27-year-old cyclist. Ng, 63, was charged on 11 September for driving without reasonable consideration for other road users.
Background
Ng Aik Leong, widely known by his stage name Huang Yiliang, is a former actor in Singapore. The incident occurred on the slip road from Cavenagh Road onto Bukit Timah Road, heading towards Serangoon Road at approximately 8:20 pm. The cyclist, who was travelling along Bukit Timah Road, reportedly had the right of way when the collision happened.
Allegedly failed to exercise care while driving
According to the charge sheets, Ng is accused of failing to exercise due care while merging from the slip road, leading to the collision. The cyclist was moving from Ng’s right to left at the time of the incident. Ng’s next court hearing is scheduled for 15 November, and he has been granted bail of S$10,000.
Court proceedings and charges
During the court session on 11 September, Ng appeared in a dark blue top, accompanied by his lawyer. The court heard that Ng was driving without reasonable consideration for other road users, which resulted in the grievous injury of the cyclist. The charge carries significant legal implications, given the severity of the injuries sustained by the cyclist.
Past incidents and future implications
This is not the first time Ng has faced legal issues. In previous years, he has been involved in other legal matters, which have drawn public attention. The outcome of this case could have further implications for his public image and any future endeavours he might pursue. The court’s decision in November will be closely watched, given the serious nature of the charges and the public interest in the case.
