Lee Cheng Yan, 39, the driver who 
dragged a traffic police officer with his car, is due to hand the vehicle over to the state.

Lee is currently serving six years and eight months in jail, and has received two lifetime driving bans – one for dragging a police officer trapped in his Maserati car's door along the road, and another for driving-related offences whilst under a driving ban.

The accused's sister previously requested for the car to be returned in order to be sold to repay loans and support Lee's two daughters in Japan.

According to the Road Traffic Act, if a repeat offender uses a vehicle he owns to commit certain offences, the public prosecutor can apply for the vehicle to be forfeited under certain circumstances and the court must order it.
