THE road rage case that happened four years ago reached its conclusion last week with the judge sentencing Yew Wei Liang, 45, a former information technology employee, to 16 years in prison for causing the death of Syed Muhammad Danial Syed Shakir at the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban bound North-South Expressway (NSE).

Judge Julia Ibrahim, when pronouncing her verdict, cited public interest in meting out the sentence, with the objective that it would serve as a lesson and a deterrence to the public.
