Stiffer penalties for DUI on the cards


PUTRAJAYA: The Transport Ministry has finalised all proposed amendments to introduce stiffer penalties for those caught driving under the influence (DUI), says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

In an interview to mark his impending 100 days in office on Thursday, the Transport Minister said the matter was expedited in less than 40 days after he heard of a drink-driving incident while on his first official visit to the Bukit Bintang MRT station on May 4.
