M'sia man, 24, who allegedly fled after crash that killed girl, 5, pleads not guilty

Raeven Goh Wey Haur, a 24-year-old bank employee, has pleaded not guilty to three traffic offences in connection with a fatal crash in Kuala Lumpur that killed a five-year-old girl named Asiah. The incident occurred on Oct. 10 around 3:44pm along Jalan Kuching, heading from the city centre towards Segambut. Goh, who was driving a BYD Seal, faces charges of causing death by reckless driving, dangerous driving, and failing to stop after the accident.

Goh was arrested on Oct. 14 after being discharged from the hospital where he received treatment for a concussion. Asiah's parents attended the proceedings at the Kuala Lumpur Magistrates’ Court on Oct. 15 but declined to speak to the media. Goh's father, a 55-year-old businessman, posted RM36,000 (S$11,308) bail on his son's behalf and acted as his surety.

The court granted bail for all three charges, imposing additional conditions, including the suspension of Goh's driving licence until the case concluded and the surrender of his passport.
