BUTTERWORTH (Bernama): The High Court here has dismissed the appeal by a former model who was found guilty of recklessly driving against the traffic flow, resulting in the death of a man three years ago.

On Friday (Oct 29), Judge Datuk Amirudin Abd Rahman upheld Ng Pei Ven’s jail sentence of five years and fine of RM18,000 handed down by a Magistrate’s Court in June last year after the prosecution successfully proved that Ng had driven against the flow of traffic along the North-South Highway, causing an accident that killed motorist Mohamad Fandi Rosli.
