SINGAPORE — The sister-in-law of American actor and filmmaker George Clooney appeared in a traffic court in Singapore on Thursday (15 August) to face a total of four charges including for drink driving and driving without a licence. Tala Alamuddin Le Tallec, 47, a Singapore permanent resident, is accused of having close to three times the legal limit of alcohol in her breath while she was driving a car along Holland Road towards Ulu Pandan at about 2.30am.

Tala, who is the older sister of Clooney’s wife Amal, allegedly had 95mcg of alcohol per 100ml of her breath. The legal limit is 35mcg per 100ml of breath. Her charge sheet states that she was previously convicted for drink driving in a Singapore court on 15 April 2013.

While first-time offenders may be punished with a fine only, the punishment for repeat drink-driving offenders under the Road Traffic Act is a mandatory jail term of up to one year, along with a fine of between $3,000 and $10,000. Tala also faces three other charges related to the same incident - she allegedly did not have a valid Singapore Class 3 driving licence, she purportedly did not have an insurance policy against third-party risks, and she supposedly drove the car without its owner’s consent. It is not known who the car belongs to.

Not sure about Singapore but in some locals... The penalty for drinking and driving is death.

Isn’t that a hanging offense in Singapore? Well, pretty much everything is, or, at the very least a caning event.

Isn’t spitting your gum out a pretty serious crime in Singapore? That might be a myth. But I assume it’s like anything else; money gets you out of certain crimes over there.

Apparently they cane them, put them in jail for a bit ,then deport them.

SINGAPORE — A Singapore court today ordered 10 Indian illegal immigrants caned and jailed in the first such sentencing under a tough new immigration law. The 10 pleaded guilty to overstaying in Singapore for up to a year and, in one case, to having entered the country illegally, immigration officials said

. They were each sentenced to three strokes of the cane and to jail terms of between three and eight months. The law, which went into effect April 1, prompted about 10,000 illegal Thai workers to leave Singapore in the two weeks before it was implemented.

Illegal immigration is seen as a a grave social and security problem.

Here’s a link to a legal service in Singapore. Since she’s a 2nd offender, plus she was,( by their law), wasted, probably jail time and a fine

Answer: Not really.

I agree. Clooney has nothing to do with this other than her being an in law. Just curious what will happen.

If Singapore was a sanctuary area, this wouldn’t be a problem...

To get into Singapore, you must show proof of your way OUT.

In fact, chewing gum is illegal in Singapore.
