Woman at the Heart of Infamous Malaysian ‘Basikal Lajak’ Court Case Acquitted



Malaysia's Court of Appeal has reached a unanimous decision to acquit Sam Ke Ting in the infamous and drawn-out "Basikal Lajak" court case that began in 2017.

On April 13, 2022, local clerk Sam was found guilty of causing the death of eight young cyclists along a stretch of a dimly-lit road in Johor Bahru at 3.20 a.m. on February 18, 2017, and was handed a six-year prison term alongside an RM6,000 (US$1,358) fine.

After an investigation by the police, it was found that Sam had not been speeding and was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Also, the eight deaths had arisen after a large group of youths had been riding modified bicycles along the poorly-lit and winding road that Sam had been using when she collided into them.

While many observers had deemed Sam's sentence unfair due to the nature of the calamity — something many consider to be a freak accident, she was nevertheless deemed guilty despite initially being freed from a reckless driving charge by the magistrate's court in 2019.

However, the latest ruling by the court of appeal has seen Sam receive an acquittal, with her conviction under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 being set aside by a three-judge panel led by Justice Hadhariah Syed Ismail. All three judges agreed that the charge held against Sam was defective.

Key Schools in china

The designation of ``Key School'' exists for selected schools at every educational level in China: elementary, secondary and higher.

Key schools all enjoy priority funding as well as the privilege of recruiting the best students. At the elementary and secondary levels, this concept is similar to that of a ``magnet'' or ``college preparatory'' school in the United States. Entry into such schools is based on examination and academic promise and achievement. For such schools, success is usually measured in terms of the percentage of its graduates entering colleges and universities, especially the key colleges and universities. The philosophy has been that giving a limited number of schools, colleges and universities priority in allocating limited resources, then the t...
