Local actor Shane Pow indicated in court today (June 3) that he will plead guilty to his drink driving charge.
According to the charge sheet, the 29-year-old had at least 49 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml of his breath exceeding the 35 microgramme limit when he was driving a motorvan along Java Road towards Nicoll Highway on Sep 17 last year at around 11.20pm.
His lawyer S S Dhillon said Shane has an upcoming three-day course that he wants to take, and asks for him to plead guilty on July 14.
In a statement released on Monday, Mediacorp said Pow had kept the company in the dark: Mediacorp would like to clarify that we were not aware of the drink-driving charge involving Shane Pow prior to it being reported in the media on April 22.
It added: We do not condone any behaviour that runs afoul of the law. We constantly remind our artistes that their fans and members of the public look to them as role models, and they are expected to behave as such.
The Straits Times reported last week that Pow was stopped at around 11.20pm on Sept 17 last year while allegedly driving a van along Java Road towards Nicoll Highway with at least 49 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath. This exceeds the limit of 35mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath.
