Just over a year ago, a financial advisor who drank a couple of whisky drinks crashed his car in Bedok North. The accident killed his girlfriend and seriously injured a colleague. On Wednesday, Chiang Kwok Wai, 32, and now unemployed, was given a nine-month jail term and a ban from driving for 10 years. He was found guilty of drink-driving and failing to maintain control of his car, resulting in the deaths. The trio had just had drinks at Boat Quay and he was giving Mr Tay a ride home. The impact so strong the car that Singapore Civil Defence Force officers had to cut it open to free its occupants. A blood test showed Chiang to have 121 mg of ethanol per 100 ml of blood, above the legally prescribed limit of 80mg/100 ml.

The morale of the stroy is to drink and not to drive or vice versa.
In this case, the driver will have nightmares througout his life for causing the death of his girl friend.
Who knows, maybe the girl friend will haunt him for his entire life.
