JASIN, September 2 — In a Jasin court today, ambulance driver Mohd Noorikhmal Baharuddin, 41, pleaded not guilty to reckless driving charges that caused the death of 18-year-old motorcyclist Muhammad Amirul Asyraaf Md Azizan last week. The incident occurred at the Kampung Ayer Merbau T-junction traffic light around 9:15 am on August 26.
According to prosecutors, the charge under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act carries a potential penalty of up to 10 years in jail, a fine ranging from RM20,000 to RM50,000, and a license suspension for up to five years. Prosecuting Officer Inspector Mohd Hafiz Othman requested RM8,000 bail with one surety and a temporary suspension of the accused's driving license.
Defense counsel Datin Kharen Jit Kaur argued for a reduced bail amount, citing his cooperation with the investigation. Magistrate Mazana Sinin set bail at RM3,000, with an added condition on his driving license. The case is scheduled for mention on September 17 for the submission of relevant documents.
