'Mat lajak' case: Saleswoman gets six years' jail, fined RM6,000


JOHOR BARU: The High Court here has sentenced the saleswoman involved in a 2017 road accident that resulted in the deaths of eight teenagers on modified bicycles, commonly known as "basikal lajak”, to six years' imprisonment.

This came after the prosecution was successful in its second appeal against a Magistrate's Court decision to acquit and discharge Sam Ke Ting (pic), 27, in October last year on a charge of reckless or dangerous driving, resulting in the death of eight cyclists in Jalan Lingkaran Dalam, Johor Baru, at 3.20am on Feb 18, 2017.
