Clerk’s charge in ‘basikal lajak’ case illegal, appeals court told
CLERK Sam Ke Ting’s conviction for reckless driving that killed eight teen cyclists cannot stand as the charge framed against her was defective, the Court of Appeal was told today.
“The High Court judge convicted Sam for reckless or dangerous driving. The appellant did not get what the law says she should get,” he said before a three-member bench comprising judges Hadhariah Syed Ismail, Hashim Hamzah and Azman Abdullah. She was charged with committing the offence on Jalan Lingkaran Dalam, Johor Baru, Johor at 3.20am on February 18, 2017. Sam was 22 years old at the time of the incident.
On April 13 last year, High Court judge Abu Bakar Katar allowed the prosecution’s appeal and convicted Sam of reckless driving.
