A 52-YEAR-OLD man who was ferrying students and teachers in his private coach lost his cool when a bus cut into his lane along Farrer Road in May last year.

The coach driver trailed the bus, SMRT Service 961, to a nearby bus stop, where he confronted and later punched the driver, Mr Wong Kam Weng, 36, before driving off.

Yesterday, Yeo Teck Kiang was expressionless as he was sentenced in a district court to five weeks' jail for voluntarily hurting Mr Wong.
