SINGAPORE: A company that operated a drone without the required permit was fined S$9,000 on Monday in the first prosecution of its kind.

The company's quantity surveyor, Mohamad Wadud Al Hafiz Ponijan, made an application to CAAS for an activity permit to capture aerial footage of the area around Marine Parade Road for LT Sambo's construction work plan.AdvertisementHowever, CAAS replied LT Sambo a day later on Sep 28, 2017, saying that the proposed flight posed potential risks of damage to property and personal safety, as it involved flying over a public road with a high concentration of human and vehicular traffic.

They managed to complete two flights of about 20 minutes each over about 2km along Marine Parade Road, going as high as the fourth storey of HDB blocks nearby.
