: The appeal by clerk Sam Ke Ting against her conviction and jail sentence for reckless driving that led to the death of eight teenagers on modified bicycles, or “basikal lajak”, will be heard on March 31 next year
An ex-judge turned lead prosecutor in the ongoing 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) case against former prime minister Najib Razak and a criminal lawyer who defended him have teamed up to appeal against a young driver's prison sentence for killing eight teenage cyclists. The guilty verdict reached last month for Sam Ke Ting's 2017 reckless driving manslaughter case made big waves.
