Sundram Retnam, 51, owner of SV Bus Transportation Services, was sentenced to 13 weeks in jail and fined SGD 500 for allowing one of his buses to exceed speed limits. He pleaded guilty to cheating charges, admitting to improper calibration of the vehicle's speed limiter. Mechanic Tee Wei Chye received a 21-week jail term earlier for his role. The case, involving a third individual, is pending. Prosecutors emphasized the importance of speed limiters for road safety. An investigation was triggered by a whistleblower's report, leading to legal action. Sundram is set to begin serving his sentence on April 1.
