What are the Maximum Penalties for Drink-Driving in Singapore?
If you are convicted of drink-driving, you are liable to a fine of between $2,000 and $10,000 and/or up to 1 year’s jail for a first-time offence. Repeat offenders face fines of between $5,000 and $20,000 and up to 2 years’ jail.

Offenders will also be disqualified from holding or obtaining a driver’s licence for at least 2 years (or at least 5 years for repeat offenders). This is unless the court has special reasons to order a shorter period of disqualification (or no disqualification at all). The period of disqualification may also be even longer if the offender has also been convicted of dangerous driving or careless driving.

How about death penalty if it result in death of the other party? An eye for an eye concept? But if say the other party no die is disabled so driver will make it up by making ownself disabled to fulfill the an eye for an eye logic.
