00:04The five-vehicle pileup that occurred in Simpang Renggam, Johor two days ago
00:09This resulted in the violent deaths of a family of four.
00:11The 22-year-old driver Zhao Huo's brother also died at the scene.
00:14This incident stemmed from a car race between brothers.
00:18The tragedy that resulted in multiple deaths ignited public outrage.
00:22The 19-year-old Masetti driver involved in the case this morning
00:25He was once again taken to the Kulan Sessions Court for an application to extend his detention.
00:29To conduct an in-depth investigation
00:30However, this case was originally filed under the Road Transport Act.
00:34The investigation will be conducted in accordance with the provisions concerning dangerous or reckless driving resulting in death.
00:37If convicted, the maximum penalty is imprisonment for up to ten years.
00:40And a maximum fine of RM50,000
00:42However, Attorney General Tusuki today instructed the police to escalate the investigation.
00:48action
00:48In addition to the existing traffic laws
00:50The case was also investigated from the perspective of murder.
00:54A traffic accident was upgraded to a murder case for investigation.
00:58This was quite rare in the past.
01:00If charged in court with murder
01:03And guilty
01:04The defendant will face the death penalty.
01:06Or no less than 30 years
01:08Imprisonment for up to 40 years
01:10Compared to the penalties under traffic laws?
01:13There is a big difference.
01:14Regarding this decision
01:16Du Suki also admitted
01:17The Attorney General's Chambers is deeply saddened by this tragedy that has torn apart innocent families and caused deaths.
01:22drama
01:22I am deeply saddened
01:23He stated frankly that although the authorities had previously dealt severely with those responsible for fatal car accidents,
01:28The
01:28However, it clearly cannot serve as an effective deterrent.
01:32Disappointing
01:33So what?
01:34The Attorney General's Chambers will conduct a full review of the police investigation report.
01:38Only then did they decide what charges to bring against the driver.
01:42Actually
01:43Not just the car accident in Simpang Renggam
01:46Recently, there have been several cases in China involving criminal driving, drug driving, and driving in the wrong direction, among others.
01:51Fatal car crashes due to dangerous driving
01:52They've all been charged with murder.
01:55For example
01:55In March of this year, a drunk driving incident occurred in Klang, Selangor, involving driving in the wrong direction.
01:59The case of the rider being run over
02:01There was also the high-speed rear-end collision in Sikamer, Johor in April that occurred after a drug-related incident.
02:06A tragedy that resulted in the deaths of three people.
02:08All the drivers involved face murder charges.
02:11Legal professionals said
02:13What about the behavior of these drivers?
02:14This has actually gone beyond the scope of ordinary negligence.
02:17It constitutes indirect intentional homicide.
02:19In other words, they were subjectively aware that such behavior could lead to the death of others.
02:23But they still chose to do it.
02:24Therefore, it meets the conditions for murder.
02:27But if it goes to court proceedings
02:29What is the threshold for conviction of murder?
02:31Always very high
02:32It is also very strict
02:34And what about the defense?
02:35It is very likely that the defendant will be charged with having no motive to kill.
02:38He defended himself by claiming it was merely negligence.
02:41Legal professionals reminded
02:42Although the prosecution charged him with murder
02:45But in the end?
02:46Will they be convicted?
02:47It also depends on how the court tries the case.
02:49How did the judge rule?
02:50As related cases gradually enter the judicial process
02:53The outside world is also paying attention
02:54The trend of these types of traffic accidents escalating into murder cases
02:57Will it become the norm?
03:00The analysis believes
03:01If the court upholds the conviction for murder
03:04This will set an example for extreme dangerous driving in our country.
03:08Zero tolerance for severely punished cases
03:10However
03:11Faced with the authorities' heavy-handed punishment as a warning to others?
03:14Road safety experts pointed out
03:16The biggest hidden danger to road safety in my country
03:18The problem remains insufficient enforcement.
03:20Former WHO Injury Prevention Technical Officer
03:23Krishnan and experts from the Malaysian Medical Association
03:26Amazing
03:26They said
03:27Domestic speeding
03:29Distracted driving
03:31Driving under the influence of alcohol
03:32Without a helmet
03:33Not wearing a seatbelt
03:34These and other violations
03:36It is still prevalent
03:37If it's just about causing someone's death...
03:39If severely punished
03:41There is simply no way to solve the problem at its source.
03:44The experts believe
03:45To effectively reduce the occurrence of tragedies
03:47This necessitates increasing the transparency of routine law enforcement.
03:51They recommended that the authorities establish a national road safety data platform.
03:55Directly publish law enforcement hotspot maps for each state
03:58banning data
03:59And the public's adherence to the law
04:01Only when the driver clearly feels
04:03There is a risk of being arrested at any time.
04:05In addition, safety education for novice drivers
04:09Only then can it have a real deterrent effect.
04:11Don't let highways become places where innocent people lose their lives.
