JOHOR BARU: The High Court here has sentenced a saleswoman who was involved in a fatal road accident, which resulted in the death of eight teenagers on modified bicycles, commonly known as"basikal lajak”, to six years' imprisonment.

High Court Judge Abu Bakar Katar said the Magistrate’s Court has erred in failing to decide the respondent's defence without being under the oath. “The respondent should have driven her car vigilantly instead of driving fast and causing the incident and should have realised that the area's lighting was not bright at around 3.20am,” he added.

On Oct 28, 2019, the Johor Baru Magistrate's Court acquitted and discharged the saleswoman of the charge at the end of the prosecution’s case without calling to enter her defence. Abu Bakar then sentenced Sam to six years of imprisonment starting from the date of conviction and also fined her RM6,000 in default six month’s imprisonment.

JusticeForSam matlajak

Get jailed for others Negligence, the law is simply broken in this country.

A sad day 2c illegal 'mat lajak' cause untold life-changing circumstances 2 n innocent young girl. MCAHQ shud actively take up case n help her clear all charges.

Like this, the government should set a time period for mat rempit to rempit on-road and during the period other road users cannot drive on that road.

The entire system is a joke. All the laws in Malaysia are against the poverty and non bumiputera. I hope these parents will get their karma by losing all their children because they have no idea on how to educate them!
