Driving under the influence of alcohol is a serious offence with substantial penalties. Someone who is convicted of drunk driving in Malaysia can face a fine of not less than RM10,000.00 and not more than RM30,000.00 and imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, if it was their first offence.
It was reported that a foreigner attempted to evade arrest after they drove a car into a restaurant and crashed into several vehicles while drunk in Johor.
