KOTA KINABALU: A consumer rights group has voiced support for stiffer penalties against drunk drivers.
However, it also warned against blanket asset seizures.
"Punishment must be directed at those who commit the offence, not extended indiscriminately to innocent family members.
“We must not create another group of victims while seeking justice for those already affected," said David Chan, chairman of the National Consumer Foundation Malaysia (YPNM) Sabah chapter, in a statement on Sunday (Oct 18)
Chan raised concerns over proposed law amendments that might lead to indiscriminate asset confiscation.
