JOHOR BARU: The High Court here has ordered a 26-year-old woman who had been acquitted and discharged in 2019 over a fatal road accident, to enter her defence.

Judge Dr Shahanaz Sulaiman made the decision on Thursday (Feb 18) after the prosecution successfully proved a prima facie case against Sam Ke Ting and overturned the decision made by the Magistrate’s Court to acquit and discharge her in October 2019.
