A 29-year-old actor, who is a Singapore permanent resident and China national, was fined S$800 and banned from driving for one month on May 6, 2026 for speeding at 121km/h on a highway with a 70km/h limit for that particular section.

This comes after Zong Zijie pleaded guilty to one count of speeding, CNA reported.

According to CNA, his charge sheet stated that at about 12:55pm on Aug. 23, 2025, he had driven 51km/h above the limit on West Coast Highway.

Prior traffic violations

Following this incident, CNA reported that the prosecutor on May 6 sought an S$800 fine with no disqualification orders for Zong.

The prosecutor added that Zong had prior traffic violations, including speeding offences in April 2020, June 2020 and September 2023.

CNA reported that District Judge Shawn Ho, noting that Zong had three prior speeding violations and was driving at 51km/h over the speed limit on Aug. 23, 2025, asked the prosecutor if a disqualification order should be imposed.

To that, the prosecutor said he would not be pressing for it, but would leave it to the court to calibrate if there was a need.
