BENTONG: The driver of a double-decker express bus, who faced charges of drug abuse and driving under the influence of drugs, resulting in the death of three passengers, had his case postponed to July 18.

Defence counsel Azizzul Shariman Mat Yusoff told a magistrate’s court here that his client Wan Khairul Affendi Wan Mustapa, 39, needed to undergo a surgery on his right knee due to injuries he suffered during the incident.
