Man Begins Two-Year Jail Term For Reckless Driving

PUTRAJAYA, April 9  — A 24-year-old man was sent to jail today to begin his two-year sentence for riding his motorcycle recklessly which resulted in the death of another motorcyclist four years ago.

This was after the Court of Appeal three-man panel led by Datuk Suraya Othman dismissed Muhammad Mustaqim Khairudin’s application to get leave to pursue his appeal in the appellate court as he did not raise questions of law.

Justice Suraya, who presided with Justices Datuk Abu Bakar Jais and Datuk Ghazali Cha, issued a warrant of committal for Muhammad Mustaqim to serve his jail sentence from today.

Muhammad Mustaqim was on bail pending the hearing of his application.

Under the law, Muhammad Mustaqim is required to first get leave before he could proceed with his appeal in the Court of Appeal as his case originated from the Magistrate’s Court.

The Kangar Magistrate’s Court found Muhammad Mustaqim guilty for the offence and sentenced him to two years’ jail and fined him RM6,000. He lost his appeal in the High Court.

According to the charge, Muhammad Mustaqim, who was then a student, had recklessly ridden his motorcycle resulting in the death of 17-year-old Akmal Azrizal Anour in front of Pos Laju in Jalan Kangar, Padang Besar, Kangar, Perlis at about 10.10 pm on March 8, 2017.

Lawyer Pyara Singh represented Muhammad Mustaqim while deputy public prosecutor Wong Poi Yoke appeared for the prosecution.
