SINGAPORE - The Singapore branch of construction company LT Sambo was fined $9,000 on Monday for operating a drone outdoors without a proper permit, the first ever conviction and sentencing under the law.

These include competitive races held by private organisers and businesses providing aerial surveying or photography services. For recreational and research purposes, permits are not required for drones 7kg and below, including payload, if they are flown outside prohibited areas, and at an altitude not exceeding 200 feet above mean sea level.

Last week, two men were taken to court after they allegedly operated drones for recreational purposes within 5km of Paya Lebar Air Base without a valid Class 2 activity permit.
