: A female driver's appeal against a six-year jail sentence and a fine of RM6,000 for reckless driving that resulted in the death of eight teenagers riding modified bicycles five years ago, will be heard at the Putrajaya Court of Appeal on Monday., 27, will be heard before a panel of judges of the Court of Appeal 3, at 9 am.

High Court Judge Datuk Abu Bakar Katar, who passed the sentence on Sam, also ordered the woman to be jailed for six months if she failed to pay the fine and revoked her driver's license for three years after serving her jail term. Abu Bakar, when reading his decision in allowing the appeal, said the court was satisfied that all the essence of the offence under Section 41 of the Road Transport Act 1987 had been successfully proven.

The judge said the trial court had also erred in accepting Sam's defence, who said she was unaware of the cycling activity on the night of the incident as an excuse to drive her car in a reckless manner, to the extent of causing the death of the victims
