The two arrested individuals were then escorted to police cars and removed from the scene. Police investigations are ongoing.
Those convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol can be jailed up to 12 months, fined between S$2,000 (US$1,560) and S$10,000, or both.
In the case of a second or subsequent conviction for drink driving, one can face a fine between S$5,000 and S$20,000, and be jailed for up to two years.
Offenders may also be disqualified from driving all classes of vehicles.
“Driving under the influence of alcohol is an extremely dangerous and irresponsible act,” said police, adding that they do not condone drink driving and will not hesitate to take firm action against motorists who do so.
They also advised members of the public not to drive if they intend to consume alcohol and to opt for other forms of transport such as taking a taxi or private-hire vehicle or public buses and trains.
They can also choose to engage the services of a valet or designate a non-drinking driver to send them home.
“All motorists are reminded to abide by traffic laws to keep the roads safe for everyone. Traffic police will continue to strengthen our enforcement capabilities to take egregious motorists to task,” SPF said.
