‘Superman’ Jailed, Fined For Reckless Riding

KUALA LUMPUR, July 16 — An unemployed man was sentenced to a day’s jail and fined RM5,500, in default five months’ jail by the Magistrate’s Court here today after he pleaded guilty to riding his motorcycle in a reckless and dangerous manner by doing the ‘Superman’ stunt last month.

Magistrate Puteri Nursheila Rahim ordered Noor Irfan Qayyum Noor Affandy, 22, to begin serving the jail sentence from today and his driving license be suspended for one year.
