Juruteknik didakwa pandu melulu sebabkan 3 kematian

A 31-year-old mechanic, Syed Muhammad Izzar Aiman Syed Ahmad, faces a court in Pahang, Malaysia, after admitting to causing a three-car accident resulting in the deaths of three individuals in June. The accident occurred near KM67 on the Kuantan-Segamat highway, when the accused was allegedly speeding and driving an Isuzu D-MAX vehicle recklessly.

The victims include Mohamad Zekry Zuhairy Mohd Atan, 33, his two daughters, Dhea Sofia, 2, and Azaharuddin Mohd Ali, 46. The accused faces charges under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 and could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison and a fine ranging from RM20,000 to RM50,000 if found guilty. The prosecution is led by Deputy Public Prosecutor Kamisah Ismail, while the accused is represented by his lawyer, Muhamad Izwan Ishak.

Kamisah offered a RM15,000 bail guarantee and requested a reduction in the amount, citing the accused's low income of RM1,500 per month and the need to support his wife, who is pregnant with their third child. After considering both arguments, the court granted the accused bail with a RM7,000 guarantee and a condition that he must also surrender his driving license until the case is concluded.

The court has set a rescheduling date of September 18 for the case. Initial reports had claimed that three people, including a doctor, died in the accident, while six others sustained injuries.
