Muhammad Sathiq Mohamed Sadakatulla, a private-hire driver in Singapore, was sentenced to 20 weeks in jail after driving into a military camp while intoxicated and assaulting police officers.
After drinking 10 cans of beer, a private-hire driver decided to drive a car into Bedok Camp in Upper East Coast Road to 'see the reaction of the security'. Muhammad Sathiq Mohamed Sadakatulla arrived outside the camp at around 6am on Dec 20, 2023, but security did not raise the entry barrier for him. Sathiq then drove through the barrier and entered the camp, before turning and crashing through an exit barrier.
After he was arrested at home, he was found to have 36 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath. This is slightly above the prescribed limit of 35mcg of alcohol in the same amount of breath. In September 2024, while out on bail, Sathiq assaulted two policemen after consuming beer in an unrelated incident. On Dec 18, the 38-year-old Singaporean was sentenced to 20 weeks' jail after he pleaded guilty to one count of entering a protected place without a permit and two counts of assaulting a police officer. The prosecution said that on Dec 19, 2023, after dropping off a passenger at around 8.30pm, Sathiq drank two cans of beer, followed by another four, before heading home. Between 2am and 3am the next day, he got into an argument, and the police were alerted due to noise complaints. Details about the argument were not disclosed in court documents.The court heard that Sathiq, despite being intoxicated, made a conscious decision to drive to Bedok Camp where he created a ruckus. Deputy Public Prosecutor Darren Sim said: 'He proceeded to drive through the barrier, and drove about 50m into Bedok Camp, before making a U-turn and driving out of the camp at a high speed, crashing through an exit barrier that had not been raised for his exit.'On Sept 8, 2024, he consumed multiple cans of beer with a friend in Jalan Minyak near Havelock Road and was drunk when he travelled to Geylang. When he was near a Hotel 81 branch at around 3am the next day, he called the police and said: 'I want to go inside lock-up.
