A 19-year-old student from Singapore, Goh Yin Zun, appeared in the Magistrate's Court in Kluang on September 18, charged with reckless and dangerous driving following a crash that killed four family members last June. Goh pleaded not guilty to the charge read to him by Magistrate Norasidah A Rahman. According to the charge sheet, Goh allegedly drove a Mercedes-Benz dangerously on June 1 around 1:19pm near KM27 of Jalan Renggam-Simpang Renggam.
The charge falls under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which allows for a maximum sentence of five years imprisonment and a fine of up to RM15,000 if found guilty. Deputy Public Prosecutor Nik Noratini Nik Azam initially requested bail at RM20,000, but defence counsel Mohd Daud Ismail and Hang Lee Ying requested a reduced amount, citing Goh's youth and current studies at a business diploma program in Singapore.
Goh had cooperated fully with investigators and was released on police bail in June. The court granted Goh RM10,000 bail with one surety and ordered him to report to a police station monthly. The case is set to be mentioned again on November 20 for document submission.
