  "account": "Two mechanics, Riduan Abd Ghani and Aiman Izzuddin Sukri, appeared in court to deny charges of reckless driving and endangering other road users on the Singapore-Malaysia Second Link in Gelang Patah. The incident occurred last week. Riduan, 26, and Aiman, 25, entered their pleas during a hearing before magistrate R Salini. Both are facing charges under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in jail, a fine of up to RM15,000, and a driving licence disqualification for at least five years upon conviction. The prosecution was handled by deputy public prosecutor Lee Weng Hong, while Riduan was represented by lawyer R S Amarpreet Singh and Aiman by lawyer Abd Rahim Ali. Bail was granted for each at RM5,000 with one surety, and the case was scheduled for a further mention on October 5.",
