Five years ago, there were 8 cyclists racing on the highway and being hit down by a car at the midnight. The teenagers, aged between 13 and 16 years old died and sparked an uproar in Malaysia. The bicycles that they were riding do not have lights and brakes. Even though I sympathize with the families for the loss of the children, a lot of questions arise, why there is no supervision accompanying these children and letting them race on the public road.
The girl, who hit them to death has remained in the prison for almost 5 years. She started serving her sentence immediately after the judgment. Although she was not driving fast, or driving under the influence of alcohol, and was possibly driving under the road's speed limit at the time of the incident. At the end of the prosecution, she was sentenced to six years and RM6,000 fined.
I feel disappointed about the judgment, why does the responsible driver need to be sentenced into jail and be fined? Where is the justice? What happened to the teenagers' parents? What are their punishments? If no further actions are taken, there will be increasingly more and more teenagers making fun on the public road without any public awareness.
