SINGAPORE: Local actor Shane Pow was charged in court on Thursday (Apr 22) with drink driving.
Pow, who was named under his Chinese name Pow Xun Ping in his charge sheet, was given one count of driving under the influence of alcohol.
According to court documents, if he is convicted he would be a repeat offender and faces a driving ban of at least five years.

The penalties for a repeat drink driving offence are a jail term of up to two years and a fine between S$5,000 and S$20,000.
The 30-year-old Mediacorp actor, dubbed one of the Eight Dukes of Caldecott Hill in 2014 along with Romeo Tan, Desmond Tan, Zhang Zhen Huan, Ian Fang, Jeffrey Xu, Aloysius Pang and Xu Bin, was talent-scouted by a modelling agency.
He was a Manhunt Singapore 2011 finalist and later starred in local dramas, receiving nominations for Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste for shows like Served H.O.T and bagging a few wins.
He was embroiled in controversy in 2016 after he donned blackface for a drama series, and Mediacorp was subsequently fined S$5,500 by the Infocomm Media Development Authority over the incident.
