A 57-year-old teacher, Sakinah Ismail, has pleaded not guilty to charges of causing the death of a Form One student and negligently endangering another student through her Honda HR-V in a school SUV crash in Kota Bharu in April. The charges, under Section 304A and 336 of the Penal Code, carry penalties of up to two years' imprisonment and a fine, or both.
Sakinah's defence attorney argued that her client had cooperated with the investigation, had no prior criminal record, and was receiving commendations for her service. The court set bail at RM2,000 with one surety, and the next hearing is set for December 6.
