Cyclist in East Coast road rage likely affected by brain tumour

Nicolette Tan Shi-en, who was employed as a lawyer at the time, pleaded guilty on April 17 to a charge of causing harassment.A cyclist who held onto a car bonnet during a row with a driver on East Coast Road on June 2, 2023, was diagnosed with brain tumour shortly after the incident, and the disease likely affected her behaviour, her lawyer said.

Tan admitted to stopping her bicycle in front of the car, confronting Ow and opening a car door. A second charge of obstructing traffic will be taken into consideration for Tan’s sentencing on May 25. District Judge Janet Wang questioned if Tan’s psychiatrist had the expertise to draw such conclusions, adding that a neurologist would be better equipped to give an opinion on this issue.Mr Rajan said he will seek an opinion from Tan’s neurologist on whether his client’s illness had a contributory link to her offences.

Ow apologised to Tan, saying that she was late for her class and asked Tan why she was acting so aggressively. When Ow tried to drive off, Tan jumped onto the bonnet of the car, holding on to the windscreen wiper.
