Who is Sam Ke Ting? Bio, Age, Wikipedia, Husband, Children – In April 2022, Sam Ke Ting was sentenced to six years in prison and an RM6,000 (S$1,817) fine for reckless or dangerous driving that resulted in the deaths of eight teenagers, after an initial acquittal was overturned by the Johor Bahru High Court.
However, the sentence and fine have now been vacated, with the panel’s chair, Justice Hadhariah Syed Ismail, telling Sam, “You are now a free person.”
The hearing before the panel is the final opportunity for the case to be heard and cannot be appealed further.
The panel stated that it had granted Sam’s appeal because the charge and conviction “did not follow the law.”
Sam was driving home around 3:20 a.m. on Feb. 18, 2017, when she collided with a group of 30 teenagers riding “basikal lajak,” illegally-modified bicycles with handlebars level with the seat, killing eight and injuring eight others.
The victims ranged in age from 13 to 16.
According to the Malay Mail, the incident happened on a hilly, dimly lit three-lane road, with Sam driving uphill towards the teenagers and colliding with them slightly behind the hill as the cyclists were going against the flow of traffic.
She was not under the influence of alcohol or using her phone at the time, and she was driving at the speed limit.
She has now been acquitted of the incident twice.
The first acquittal came in 2019, but the case was retried in February 2021 by the Johor Bahru High Court after the prosecution appealed, only for Sam to be acquitted again in May 2021.
In April 2022, the prosecution appealed to the High Court, which found Sam guilty of driving recklessly or dangerously.
She was released on bail pending the outcome of the appeal, and received an outpouring of support, including petitions for her release and offers of legal aid from prominent lawyers, including former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak’s lawyer, Hisyam Teh Poh Teik.
