Woman at the Heart of Infamous Malaysian ‘Basikal Lajak’ Court Case Acquitted



Malaysia's Court of Appeal has reached a unanimous decision to acquit Sam Ke Ting in the infamous and drawn-out "Basikal Lajak" court case that began in 2017.

On April 13, 2022, local clerk Sam was found guilty of causing the death of eight young cyclists along a stretch of a dimly-lit road in Johor Bahru at 3.20 a.m. on February 18, 2017, and was handed a six-year prison term alongside an RM6,000 (US$1,358) fine.

After an investigation by the police, it was found that Sam had not been speeding and was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Also, the eight deaths had arisen after a large group of youths had been riding modified bicycles along the poorly-lit and winding road that Sam had been using when she collided into them.

While many observers had deemed Sam's sentence unfair due to the nature of the calamity — something many consider to be a freak accident, she was nevertheless deemed guilty despite initially being freed from a reckless driving charge by the magistrate's court in 2019.

However, the latest ruling by the court of appeal has seen Sam receive an acquittal, with her conviction under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 being set aside by a three-judge panel led by Justice Hadhariah Syed Ismail. All three judges agreed that the charge held against Sam was defective.

100 Most important websites for SEO Work

Not all backlinks are created equally. You'll find that certain sites pack a powerful punch with search engines and some are a complete waste of time. From my research, I've found that the following  ten websites  are the perfect starting point for your backlinking campaign: 1. Facebook :  {PR 9  No-Follow } –  One of the downsides to Facebook is they have a "no-follow" policy with their outbound links.  This means your site won't get credit for any link from this social media site. So why do I include Facebook in this list? Well, there are a number of indicators that Google has increased their emphasis on the amount of "social buzz" a site gets.  So it's important to set up a Facebook profile or Fan Page for your website.  Plus you should also make sure this page gets a steady amount of  comments  and  likes . 2. YouTube :  {PR 9 Do-Follow/No-Follow} –  There's a little confusion about YouTube when it comes to backlinks. Your main profile does h...
