SINGAPORE – He arrived outside the school in a Bentley and was stopped from entering the premises by a security guard.
But Neo Hong Chye, 61, was determined to drive into the grounds of Red Swastika School and inched the car forward even when the guard stood in front of the vehicle, injuring him.
Neo pleaded guilty on Wednesday to one count of causing hurt by performing a rash act and another count of driving the vehicle without insurance coverage.
Neo, who appeared in court in a floral shirt, remained quiet and stood with head bowed as the facts were read out to him.
The incident on Jan 11 was captured on video and it showed Neo in a white Bentley threatening to run down the 62-year-old security guard.
The video showed him inching the car forward a few times, pushing the security guard back despite being stopped from entering the primary school in Bedok.
He was arrested that same day and the police said that the guard suffered minor injuries following the incident.
The accused’s son, Glynn Neo Jia, 28, was charged in May with one count each of altering the licence plate number of the Bentley and allowing his father to use the car without insurance coverage.
He was the owner of the Bentley at the time and allegedly allowed his father to drive the car at around 6.30am on the day of the incident.
