Pemandu mengaku tak salah sebabkan kematian kanak-kanak dalam nahas Jalan Kuching

Raeven Goh, a 24-year-old bank assistant, denied responsibility in the Kuala Lumpur High Court for causing the death of a five-year-old girl in a six-vehicle accident on Jalan Kuching on October 10. Goh appeared before Judge Aliaa Anwar and admitted to causing the accident, but maintained his innocence regarding the specific charges of dangerous driving and failing to stop after the accident, as per Section 42(1) and Section 52(1) of the Road Transport Act, which could result in up to five years in prison, a fine of RM5,000 to RM15,000, and a driving license suspension of at least two years.

If found guilty, Goh could face a maximum fine of RM2,000 or a six-month prison sentence. The court granted Goh a RM36,000 bail with a surety for each charge. Judge Aliaa also ordered Goh to surrender his passport and suspended his driving license until the case is resolved. The matter is scheduled to be heard on November 19, with Deputy Prosecutor Fadhly Zamry and Wafi Husain representing the prosecution, while Goh was represented by lawyer Kailash Sharma.
