Roads are not Enough for Number of Vehicles – Expert

Road congestion especially during the festive season is due to the insufficient length of the existing roads to accommodate the large number of vehicles, said Traffic and Road Safety Psychologist, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Prof. Dr Rozmi Ismail. He also said that many other roads (not highways) only have one lane.

“If something like an accident happens, road users have nowhere to ‘run’ and they will be stuck with the congestion. They have to deal with it.

“Then, in most cities or towns, the roads are being repaired. For example in Gua Musang. It adds to the large number of vehicles causing further congestion,” he added.

He commented on the complaints of road users who had to travel for more than 10 hours when returning to the capital after celebrating Aidilfitri last year.

Apart from that, he also touched on the toll payment method and suggested that there are more effective payment systems. “For example, the user has already paid before going to a certain place. Say I want to go to Penang, I have already paid. This is to avoid these vehicles lining up at the toll plaza. That queue causes congestion too.”

Our comments:

Prof.’s summary Dr. Romzi is very good but there is another reason why the roads in Malaysia are getting more congested: The huge increase of new vehicles every day, month, and year. For example, almost 800,000 new vehicles were registered last year alone. The total length of roads in our country, including highways and paved and unpaved roads is 290,099 kilometers. But at the same time, there are 36.3 million active vehicles. That means there are 125 vehicles per kilometer.

The addition of roads and highways will not be able to accommodate the number of vehicles at any time, not to mention the construction of each highway takes a long time to complete. The construction project also adds to traffic congestion.

Jalan Sedia Ada Tidak Dapat Menumpung Jumlah Kenderaan – Pakar

Kesesakan jalan raya terutamanya setiap kali musim perayaan khususnya di Pantai Timur antaranya disebabkan kepanjangan jalan sedia ada tidak dapat menampung jumlah kenderaan yang banyak, kata Pakar Psikologi Trafik dan Keselamatan Jalan Raya, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Prof. Dr Rozmi Ismail. Dia turut berkata yang banyak jalan lain (bukan lebuh raya) hanya mempunyai satu lorogn.

“Kalau berlakunya apa-apa perkara seperti kemalangan, pengguna jalan raya tidak ada tempat untuk ‘lari’ dan mereka akan terperangkap dengan kesesakan itu. Memang terpaksa harunginya.

“Kemudian, kebanyakan bandar atau pekan jalannya sedang dibaiki. Contohnya di Gua Musang. Ia seterusnya tidak dapat membantu untuk menampung jumlah kenderaan yang banyak sehingga menyebabkan kesesakan,” katanya lagi.

Beliau mengulas mengenai keluhan pengguna jalan raya yang terpaksa menempuhi perjalanan panjang melebihi 10 jam ketika kembali ke ibu kota selepas menyambut Aidilfitri lalu.

Selain daripada itu, beliau turut menyentuh mengenai kaedah pembayaran tol yang menambahkan lagi kesesakan dan mencandangkan bahawa terdapat sistem pembayaran yang lebih efektif. “Contohnya pengguna dah bayar dahulu sebelum nak ke sesuatu tempat. Katalah saya nak pergi Pulau Pinang, sudah siap bayar. Ini untuk elakkan kenderaan ini berbaris di plaza tol. Berbaris itu akan jadi sesak.

Komen kami:

Rumusan Prof. Dr. Romzi amat baik namun ada lagi satu sebab kenapa jalan-jalan di Malaysia makin sesak, iaitu pertambahan kenderaan yang mendadak setiap hari, bulan, dan tahun. Contohnya, hampir 800,000 kenderaan baharu didaftarkan pada tahun lalu sahaja. Jumlah kepanjangan jalan raya di negara kita, termasuk lebuh raya dan jalan yang diturap serta tidak diturap ialah 290,099 kilometer. Tetapi pada masa yang sama, terdapat 36.3 juta kenderaan yang aktif. Itu bermaksud terdapat 125 kenderaan bagi setiap kilometer.

Penambahan apa-apa jalan dan lebuh raya tidak akan dapat menampung jumlah kenderaan sampai bila-bila, apatah lagi pembinaan setiap lebuh raya mengambil masa yang lama. Projek pembinaan tersebut juga menyumbang kepada kesesakan trafik.

62.6 Juta Motosikal Dijual pada 2023

Sebanyak 62.6 juta motosikal dijual pada 2023 di peringkat global.

Ia mewakili rekod kedua terbaik selepas 2018. Jumlah jualan juga mewakili peningkatan 2.7% daripada 2022, dan tahun ketiga pertumbuhan berterusan selepas menyaksikan penurunan mendadak pada 2020 akibat pandemik Covid-19.

Sekali lagi, pasaran Asia yang mendorong peningkatan itu.

India menyumbang jumlah jualan tertinggi, dan peningkatan sebanyak 9.1% dalam kalangan pengeluar tempatan mereka TVS Motor, Royal Enfield, Bajaj Auto dan Hero. Beberapa jenama bukan India lain turut hadir di negara ini melalui perkongsian dengan pengeluar tempatan seperti BMW, Triumph, Norton, KTM, et al.

Pasaran kedua terbesar ialah, tidak mengejutkan, Indonesia yang berkembang sebanyak 20.2% lagi walaupun sudah mempunyai bilangan motosikal tertinggi di sana.

Walaupun pasaran ini berkembang, beberapa negara Asia juga menunjukkan kemerosotan. Jualan jatuh di China sebanyak -2.4%, Vietnam sebanyak -18.1%, dan Pakistan -32.7%.

Pasaran global lain yang berkembang termasuk Brazil sebanyak 21.3%, yang menduduki tempat ke-7 di dunia dan yang terbesar dalam pasaran motosikal Amerika Latin. Turki menyaksikan pertumbuhan yang mengagumkan sebanyak 117.9%, melonjakkannya ke tempat ke-11 di dunia.

Data itu dikumpulkan oleh MotorCycles Data yang menjejaki jualan di lebih 90 negara. Mereka menjejaki penghantaran sebenar kepada pembeli dan bukannya daripada pengeluar yang menuntut jualan kepada peniaga mereka.

62.6 Million Motorcycles Sold Globally in 2023

A total of 62.6 million motorcycles were sold globally in 2023.

It represents the second best record after 2018. The sales volume also represents a 2.7% increase from 2022, and the third year of continuous growth after seeing a sharp decrease in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Once again, it was the Asian market that drove the increase.

India contributed the highest number of sales, and an increase of 9.1% among their local manufacturers TVS Motor, Royal Enfield, Bajaj Auto, and Hero. Several other non-Indian brands are also present in the country through partnerships with the local manufactures such as BMW, Triumph, Norton, KTM, et al.

The second biggest market was, no surprise, Indonesia which grew by another 20.2% despite already having the highest number of motorcycles there.

Although these markets grew, several Asian countries showed downturns, as well. Sales dropped in China by -2.4%, Vietnam by -18.1%, and Pakistan a huge -32.7%.

Other growing global markets included Brazil by 21.3%, who ranked 7th globally and the largest in Latin America motorcycle market. Turkey saw an astounding 117.9% growth, moving it to 11th place in the world.

The data was collated by MotorCycles Data who track sales in more than 90 countries. They track actual deliveries to buyers rather than from manufacturers who claim their sales to their dealers.

Penduduk Cina Baikki Jalan Tikus untuk Menolong Pengembara Aidilfitri

Dalam kisah yang membanggakan hati setiap rakyat Malaysia (kecuali yang rasis tegar), penduduk sebuah kampung Cina membaikki jalan tikus pada tengah malam untuk membantu pengembara Aidilfitri ketika mereka memandu pulang.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri memang menyeronokkan, tetapi ia juga menandakan tempoh ketika berjuta-juta kenderaan membanjiri lebuh raya ketika rakyat Malaysia di perantaun pulang ke kampung halaman. Lebuh raya yang sedia sibuk akan sesak dengan kenderaan sehinggakan sesetengah pemandu mencari jalan alternatif. Walau bagaimanapun, sebahagian daripada ini bukan jalan B, tetapi laluan yang tidak diturap yang dikenali sebagai “jalan tikus.”

Begitulah kisah ini, apabila Zairul Annuar mahu mengelak kesesakan lalu lintas di lebuh raya PLUS menghala ke Kuala Lumpur. Dia memutuskan untuk keluar di Gopeng untuk mengambil jalan dalam hanya untuk mendapati jalan itu mempunyai kesesakan lalu lintas yang besar di Ladang Bikam.

Dia kemudian memutuskan untuk mengikuti laluan yang lain yang dicadangkan oleh Google Map, walaupun ia merupakan laluan ladang kelapa sawit yang tidak berturap.

“Perlahan-lahan, kami meneruskan perjalanan. Tiba-tiba, kelihatan beberapa kereta dari arah bertentangan, yang kemudian berhenti di sebelah kami untuk memaklumkan bahawa jalan di hadapan tidak boleh dilalui.”

“Mereka menyuruh kami berpatah balik. Semua kereta di belakang kami diarahkan melakukan perkara yang sama.”

Dia kemudian berbuat demikian tetapi ketika keretanya memasuki semula kawasan perumahan, Zairul diberhentikan oleh sekumpulan lelaki Cina pertengahan umur yang tinggal di situ.

Mereka kemudian bertanya kepada Zairul jika dia dan keluarganya menuju ke Kuala Lumpur dan menggesa mereka untuk tidak berpatah balik kerana mereka akan terperangkap dalam kesesakan lalu lintas.

Sebaliknya, penduduk kampung Cina berkata bahawa mereka akan membaikki jalan yang terhalang itu. Kumpulan lelaki Cina itu berkata kepada Zairul yang boleh didengari dalam video Zairul, “Jalan di hadapan kamu terhalang, kan? Jangan risau, kami akan membawa jengkaut untuk membaiki jalan itu. Awak tunggu sekejap.”

Zairul kemudian berkata, kawasan kejiranan itu ternyata merupakan kawasan perumahan Cina dan penduduk secara bersatu bersetuju membantu memudahkan laluan kenderaan melalui kawasan kejiranan itu.

Penduduk kampung berkumpul dan menggunakan jengkaut untuk meratakan jalan untuk digunakan oleh orang yang tidak dikenali.

Dalam video perjalanan melalui jalan tikus itu, sebuah jengkaut dapat dilihat di tepi jalan selepas ia digunakan untuk meratakan jalan supaya kereta biasa boleh melaluinya kerana hanya 4×4 boleh melakukannya sedemikian sebelum itu.

Tersentuh dengan tindakan penduduk kampung Cina keluar membantu orang yang tidak dikenali pada Aidilfitri, Zairul memuji mereka dengan berkata, “Mereka keluar dari rumah dan bekerja bersama-sama. Hebatnya rakyat Perak. Inilah semangat Malaysia yang sebenar.”

Chinese Villagers Repair Road to Help Aidilfitri Travellers

In a story that warms every Malaysian’s heart, Chinese villagers repaired a road in the middle of the night to help Aidilfitri travellers as they drive home.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri is fun, but it also marks the occasion when millions of vehicles flood the highways as Malaysians travel to their hometowns and back. The already busy highways will be so choked with vehicles that some motorists look for alternative routes. However, some of these are not B-roads, but off-road paths.

Such was the case in this story, when Zairul Annuar wanted to avoid a traffic standstill on the PLUS highway heading to Kuala Lumpur. He decided to exit at Gopeng to take the inner roads, only to find that road had a massive traffic jam in Ladang Bikam.

He then decided to follow a reroute suggested by Google Map, albeit an unpaved trail for an oil palm estate.

“Slowly, we continued our journey. Suddenly, a few cars from the opposite direction can be seen, who then stopped beside us to inform us that the road ahead was impassable.”

“They directed us to turn back. All of the cars behind us were instructed to do the same.”

He then did so but as his car re-entered the residential area, Zairul wasstopped by a group of middle-aged Chinese men living there.

They then asked Zairul if he and his family were heading to Kuala Lumpur and urged them to not turn back as they would be stuck in a traffic jam.

Instead, the Chinese villagers said that they would repair the blocked road so that cars could pass through. The group of middle-aged Chinese men said to Zairul. The conversion can be heard in Zairul’s video, “The road ahead of you is blocked, right? Don’t worry. We’ll bring a backhoe to repair that road. You wait a moment.”

Zairul then said that the neighbourhood turned out to be a Chinese residential area and that the residents collectively agreed to help facilitate the passage of vehicles through the neighbourhood.

The villagers banded together and used a backhoe to level out the road for strangers to use.

In the video of travelling through the trail (colloquially called ‘jalan tikus’), a backhoe could be seen by the roadside after it was used to level out the road so that normal cars could pass through, as only 4x4s could do so before due to an incline.

Touched by the Chinese villagers’ action of going out of their way to help strangers on Aidilfitri, Zairul heaped praises on them, saying, “They came out of their homes and worked together. The people of Perak are amazing. Powerful. This is the true spirit of Malaysia.”

116 Deaths during Songkran 2024

A total of 116 deaths due to road accidents were recorded during the three days of the Songkran festival in Thailand. The death toll on Saturday alone reached 48 cases, while 411 injuries were reported. The number of those injured reached 968 in the same period.

A total of 936 road accident cases were reported. 40.05 percent of them were caused by speeding, 27.81 percent were due to drunk driving, and another 16.85 percent were due to overtaking other vehicles.

A total of 85.5 percent of accidents involved motorcycles. The majority of accidents were not due to winding roads or bad conditions, instead 81.63 percent occured on straight roads.

Nakhon Si Thammarat and Songkhla provinces recorded the highest number of road accidents in three days with 19 cases each.

The city of Bangkok recorded the highest number of deaths in the same period which was 8 deaths, while Songkhla recorded 45 cases of injuries.

The Director General of the Civil Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department, Chaiwat Chuntirapong, said officials are adjusting prevention measures to suit the reality on the ground.

The focus is on secondary roads and communities, where motorcyclists tend to speed without helmets and after consuming alcohol.

We know many motorcyclists and drivers from Malaysia who like to go to Thailand for the Songkran festival and for recreation, but do hope that you ride and carefully when there. Also, the report mentioned the consumption of alcohol but did not include the consumption of the legalised marijuana. There may be cases involving it but not reported. Regardless, the Thai government will withdraw the legalization of cannabis at the end of this year.

116 Kematian dalam Tempoh Songkran

Seramai 116 kematian akibat kemalangan jalan raya dicatatkan dalam tempoh tiga hari perayaan Songkran di Thailand. Angka kematian pada hari Sabtu sahaja telah mencapai 48 kes, manakala 411 kecederaan dilaporkan. Jumlah mereka yang tercedera mencecah 968 dalam tempoh yang sama.

Sejumlah 936 kes kemalangan jalan raya dilaporkan. 40.05 daripadanya disebabkan oleh memandu laju, 27.81 peratus oleh kerana memandu di dalam keadaan mabuk, dan 16.85 peratus lagi kerana memotong kenderaan lain.

Sebanyak 85.5 peratus kemalangan melibatkan motosikal. Majoriti kemalangan bukan kerana jalan berliku atau keadaan tidak baik, sebaliknya 81.63 peratus berlaku di atas jalan lurus.

Wilayah Nakhon Si Thammarat dan Songkhla mencatatkan jumlah kemalangan jalan raya tertinggi dalam tempoh tiga hari masing-masing sebanyak 19 kes.

Maverick Viñales Cipta Sejarah di MotoGP Amerika 2024

Maverick Viñales mencipta sejarah baharu apabila dia menjuarai perlumbaan MotoGP Amerika yang epik di Circuit of the Americas (COTA) pagi tadi.

Viñales menjadi satu-satunya pelumba dalam kejuaraan itu yang pernah menang dengan tiga pengeluar berbeza, iaitu Aprilia, Yamaha, dan Suzuki.

Pelumba Aprilia itu bermula dari petak pertama, diikuti pelumba remaja Pedro Acosta daripada Red Bull GasGas, dan Jorge Martin daripada Prima Pramac Ducati. Bagaimanapun, Viñales yang bermula daripada petak yang pertama ditewaskan ke selekoh pertama oleh Acosta yang bermula dengan pantas, diikuti oleh Martin, juara bertahan dan pelumba pengilang Ducati, Francesco Bagnaia dan rakan sepasukannya Enea Bastianini, Jack Miller dari Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, dan pemenang tujuh kali di COTA Marc Marquez yang menunggang Gresini Ducati. Pertarungan huru-hara untuk kedudukan terbaik di selekoh pertama telah menolak Viñales ke tempat ke-11 pada penghujung pusingan pertama.

Ketika Acosta mengambil alih pendahulu buat kali pertama dalam karier MotoGPnya, bermulalah beberapa siri aksi potong-memotong yang mendebarkan di kelompok depan. Bagaimanapun, Acosta telah memilih tayar belakang kompaun sederhana yang kurang cengkam berbanding pelumba Ducati pada pilihan lembut, justeru dia terpaksa mengalah kepada Martin yang menggunakan tayar kompaun lembut.

Marquez tahu dia perlu mulakan serangan dengan segera sebelum Martin menjauhkan dirinya. Percubaannya untuk memintas Miller menyaksikan motosikal mereka berlanggar dan menghilangkan sayap kiri hadapan Ducati Marquez.

Walaupun kamera tertumpu semata-mata pada kumpulan hadapan ini, Viñales sedang bergerak ke hadapan dengan agresif dan memintas pelumba demi pelumba lain.

Tayar belakang Martin mulai haus sejurus sebelum pertengahan perlumbaan, dan ini membolehkan Acosta dan Marquez merapatkan jurang, dan akhirnya memintas Martin.

Marquez yang amat bersemangat untuk mengukuhkan kedudukannya sebagai “Raja COTA” memintas Acosta untuk mendahului. Malangnya, tayar depannya telah hilang cengkaman pada selekoh ke-11 dan terbabas daripada perlumbaan. Dia mendedahkan kemudian bahawa dia mengalami masalah brek.

Dengan ketiadaan Marquez, Acosta mula melakukan beberapa pusingan pantas untuk sekali lagi menjarakkan dirinya daripada Martin, Bagnaia, dan Bastianini.

Tetapi tunggu, ini datang Viñales dengan Aprilia “Bat Bike” miliknya (dia telah menggelarkan dirinya sebagai “BatMav” sepanjang minggu). Viñales memintas Acosta untuk mendahului. Pada masa inilah dia melakukan siri pusingan yang amat laju termasuk pusingan perlumbaan terpantas di COTA walaupun dengan tayar haus. Acosta cuba untuk mengikutnya, dan walaupun dia satu-satunya pelumba lain yang mencatatkan pusingan dalam kurungan 2m:02s, Viñales melakukan pusingan 2m:02.5s, manakala Acosta hanya mampu membuat lap dengan masa 2m:02.9s.

Jadi, BatMav bertahan untuk memenangi perlumbaan dan menempah tempat dalam buku sejarah. Persembahan Viñales menakjubkan pada hujung minggu ini, kerana dia telah mengambil kedudukan terdepan (pole position), memenangi perlumbaan Sprint, dan kini Perlumbaan Utama.

Acosta turut mencipta sejarah sebagai pelumba MotoGP termuda yang menaikki podium berturut-turut.

Bastianini berjaya memotong Martin dalam gerakan berani pada kelajuan lebih 350km/j untuk tempat ketiga. Martin berada di tempat keempat dan Bagnaia yang terpaksa bergelut dengan gegaran tayar belakang menamatkan perlumbaan di tempat kelima.

Pusingan seterusnya ialah Grand Prix Sepanyol di Jerez dalam masa dua minggu.

Maverick Viñales Creates History in Epic Grand Prix of Americas MotoGP Race

Maverick Viñales created a new history when he won at an epic Grand Prix of the Americas MotoGP race at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) this morning.

Viñales had become the only rider in the championship to ever win with three different manufacturers, namely Aprilia, Yamaha, and Suzuki. Such a record had eluded even Valentino Rossi who achieved wins with Honda and Yamaha.

The Aprilia rider had started from pole position, followed by the teenage sensation Pedro Acosta on the GasGas, and Jorge Martin on the Pramac Ducati. However, Vinales was beaten to the first corner by a quick starting Acosta, followed by Martin, defending champion and Ducati factory rider Francesco Bagnaia and his teammate Enea Bastianini, Jack Miller of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, and seven-time winner at COTA Marc Marquez on his Gresini Ducati. The chaotic battle for the first turn shuffled Viñales back to 11th at the end of the first lap.

As Acosta took over the lead for the first time in his MotoGP career, there began a series of thrilling overtakes among the leading group. However, Acosta had chosen the less grippy medium compound rear tyre compared to the Ducati riders on the soft option, thus he had to yield to Martin who took off into the distance.

On the other hand, Marquez knew he had to make a move before Martin checks out so he began to up his aggression, which saw Miller bumping into him and taking away the Ducati’s front left aerobody.

While the camera focused solely on this leading group, Viñales was making his way forward in a take-no-prisoner manner, dispatching rider after rider.

Up front, just before mid-race, Martin’s rear tyre began to deteriorate, allowing Acosta and the following Marquez to close the gap, and finally overtake Martin.

Marquez, eager to cement his place as the “King of COTA” flew past Acosta into the lead. Unfortunately, he locked up the front tyre just several turns later and crashed out of the race. He revealed later that he was having braking issues.

With Marquez gone, Acosta began putting in some quick and steady laps, once again pulling away from Martin, Bagnaia, and Bastianini.

But hold on, here comes Viñales on his Aprilia “Bat Bike” (he had dubbed himself “BatMav” over the weeked). Viñales overtook Acosta into the lead, prompting the latter to fight back, but Viñales had none of it and went back into the lead immediately after. It was during this time that he put in a series of blistering laps including the fastest ever race lap at COTA despite on being worn tyres. Acosta tried to go with him, and although he was the only other rider to lap in the 2m:02s bracket, Viñales put in 2m:02.5s laps, while Acosta could only manage 2m:02.9s.

So, BatMav held on to win the race and place in the history books. It was a stunning display over the weekend, as he had taken pole position, won the Sprint Race, and now the Main Race.

Acosta also made history as the youngest MotoGP rider to take back-to-back podiums.

Bastianini managed to pass Martin in a daring move at over 350km/h at the back straight to come home third. Martin was fourth and Bagnaia struggled with rear tyre chatter to fifth.

The next round is the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez, Spain in two weeks’ time.

Driver who Killed Three Pakistanis Admit to Taking Drugs

The driver of a car that hit and killed three Pakistani men while they were on their way to perform the Aidilfitri prayer, pleaded guilty to the charge of taking drugs.

The accused, Mohd Azizol Abdul Rasheed, 36, made the confession as soon as the charges were read before Magistrate T Ashvinii.

Based on the charge, the restaurant assistant was charged with using a dangerous drug, namely ganja, and was accused of committing an offence under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 (amended in 2003) read together with Section 38b (1) of the same act.

The accused can be fined a maximum of RM5,000 or imprisoned for a maximum of two years, if convicted.

The court then allowed a bail at RM3,000 with two sureties and the additional condition of reporting to a nearby station every two weeks.

The court also fixed June 5 as the re-call of the case for the submission of the pathology report.

The incident happened on the first Hari Raya Aidilfitri which caused three Pakistani men to die, while three others were seriously injured after being hit by a car driven by the suspect.

The identities of the three victims who died were identified as Zahir Nur Muhammad, 31; Shayan Mumtazali, 22 and Adil Noorullah, 33.

Three other injured individuals are Kamran Muhammad Wali, 26; Yasen Afzalsha, 19 and Salem Said Rasol, 23.

Meanwhile, four Pakistani men have been remanded for beating the driver of the car.

The matter was decided by the same Magistrate, T Ashvinii at the Teluk Intan Magistrate’s Court to allow further investigation to be carried out in accordance with Section 147 of the Penal Code.

The suspect aged 24 to 49 and working as oil palm laborers were arrested after the driver of the Proton Saga made a police report stating that he was injured in the head as a result of being beaten.

Earlier, Perak’s Hilir District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Ahmad Adnan Basri, reportedly said they were arrested after the police identified the suspect through a viral video on social media involving the car driver and the four men.

Pemandu Langgar Mati Warga Pakistan Mengaku Mengambil Dadah

Pemandu sebuah kereta yang melanggar mati tiga lelaki warga Pakistan ketika mereka dalam perjalanan menunaikan solat sunat Aidilfitri, mengaku bersalah atas tuduhan mengambil dadah.

Tertuduh, Mohd Azizol Abdul Rasheed, 36, membuat pengakuan itu sebaik pertuduhan dibacakan di hadapan Majistret T Ashvinii.

Berdasarkan pertuduhan, pembantu kedai makan itu didakwa memasukkan dadah berbahaya jenis iaitu ganja dan dituduh melakukan kesalahan mengikut Seksyen 15(1)(a) Akta Dadah Berbahaya 1952 (pindaan 2003) yang dibaca bersama Seksyen 38b (1) akta yang sama.

Tertuduh boleh dikenakan hukuman denda maksimum RM5,000 atau penjara maksimum dua tahun, jika sabit kesalahan.

Mahkamah kemudiannya membenarkan tertuduh diikat jamin RM3,000 dengan dua orang penjamin dan syarat tambahan melapor diri di balai berdekatan setiap dua minggu sekali.

Mahkamah turut menetapkan 5 Jun ini sebagai sebutan semula kes bagi serahan laporan patologi.

Kejadian berlaku pada Hari Raya Aidilfitri pertama yang menyebabkan tiga lelaki warga Pakistan maut, manakala tiga lagi parah dirempuh kereta dipandu suspek.

Identiti tiga mangsa yang maut dikenali sebagai Zahir Nur Muhammad, 31; Shayan Mumtazali, 22 dan Adil Noorullah, 33.

Tiga lagi individu cedera ialah Kamran Muhammad Wali, 26; Yasen Afzalsha, 19 dan Salem Said Rasol, 23.

Sementara itu, empat lelaki Pakistan telah direman kerana telah bertindak memukul pemandu kereta berkenaan.

Perkara itu diputuskan oleh Majistret yang sama, T Ashvinii di Mahkamah Majistret Teluk Intan bagi membolehkan siasatan lanjut dibuat mengikut Seksyen 147 Kanun Keseksaan.

Suspek berusia 24 hingga 49 tahun dan bekerja sebagai buruh sawit ditahan jam 4.20 petang semalam selepas pemandu Proton Saga terbabit membuat laporan polis menyatakan dia cedera di kepala akibat dipukul.

Terdahulu, Ketua Polis Daerah Hilir Perak, Asisten Komisioner Ahmad Adnan Basri, dilaporkan berkata mereka ditahan selepas polis mengenal pasti suspek menerusi video tular di laman sosial membabitkan pemandu kereta dan empat lelaki berkenaan.
