‘Basikal lajak’ case: why did high court overturn magistrate’s decision?

KUALA LUMPUR – The conflicting conclusions by the Johor Baru magistrates’ court and high court in the “basikal lajak” trial of 27-year-old clerk Sam Ke Ting have fuelled fierce public discourse over her “reckless driving” and the eight teenage victims.

In the high court’s grounds of judgment sighted by The Vibes, judge Datuk Abu Bakar Katar found that the trial court erred in its judgment when it accepted Sam’s explanation that she was not aware of “basikal lajak” activities in Jalan Lingkaran Dalam, Johor Baru.

Based on the grounds, amongst the “errors” in the magistrate’s findings was the possibility of another vehicle being involved in the fatal collision in 2017.
