00:00 A 76-year-old woman pleaded not guilty to three charges of reckless and dangerous driving
00:10 at a magistrate's court in Georgetown on Thursday.
00:13 Tan Luke Lay claimed trial to all three charges read under Section 42, Subsection 1 of the
00:19 Road Transport Act 1987 before Magistrate Siti Nurul Suhaillah Bahrain.
00:25 Each charge carries a jail term of up to five years and a fine of no less than RM5,000 and
00:32 no more than RM15,000 upon conviction.
00:36 Tan was charged with driving at a dangerous speed and knocking into 23-year-old motorcyclist
00:42 Mohd Afiq Rozani along Jalan Bukit Gambir on November 27 last year.
00:48 She was also charged with knocking into 40-year-old motorcyclist and his 15-year-old pillion rider,
00:55 Nur Irfan Hakim Mohd Nur Ezri, at the same location, time and date.
01:00 For the third charge, Tan allegedly drove recklessly and knocked into the motorcycle
01:05 of 22-year-old Mohd Shamil Zulkainain and Christina Abdullah, also 22, at the same location,
01:12 time and date.
01:14 Deputy Public Prosecutor Nurul Atiqah Ashraf Ali, in submitting for bail, had urged the
01:19 court to set RM10,000 for each charge.
01:23 Meanwhile, Tan's lawyer Dev Kumar Rendran had mitigated for a lesser sum as he argued
01:29 that his client is a retired police clerk who worked for 30 years before retiring due
01:34 to having cholesteatoma requiring three surgeries.
01:38 The court then set bail at RM15,000 for all three charges, with one surety and additional
01:44 condition that the accused and her family must not disturb the victims.
01:48 The court also fixed March 8 for submissions of documents and the medical report.
