Our comment

We at BikesRepublic.com and MotoMalaya.net are strong advocates for advanced rider training, given the lack of interest and initiatives by the authorities to enhance rider safety and lowering accident and death rates among motorcyclists. And, as we are all aware, the syllabus taught at driving schools are mere procedures to pass the tests!

We have attended numerous Ducati Riding Experience classes, in addition to the California Superbike School Malaysia, and Most Fun Gym to upgrade ourselves, and found them all to be essential for daily riding and not just for the track.

This is a great opportunity for you since the Ducati Riding Experience Road Academy is open to riders of all brands of motorcycles. So, no more excuses!

Road Maintenance Company Ordered to Pay RM721,000 to Accident Victim

The Johor Bahru Sessions Court ordered a road maintenance company to pay RM721,000 in compensation to an accident victim after he hit a pothole and crashed.

The 49-year-old male victim was injured after crashing due to hitting an unmaintained pothole in Pasir Gudang, near Taman Kota Masai, three years ago.

The judge, Sazlina Safie, made the decision after finding that Razali @ Mohd Leey Subeh, as the plaintiff (the party issuing the suit) successfully proved his claim against Safwa Global Venture (M) Sdn Bhd. Safwa Global Venture is the company appointed by the state government to maintain the road.

He filed a lawsuit against the company and the state government as the first and second respondents, respectively, for the injuries and damages he suffered as a result of the incident.

Judge Sazlina said, “The court can conclude that from the date of the incident (11 Feb 2021) until the excavation works on 29 September 2022, the hole remained at the scene without any repair, as admitted by all the witnesses.

“The court found that the issue of potholes at the scene of the incident had been proven and admitted by the defendant.

“The company also presented contradictory statements in their defense when they initially claimed that they did not see any potholes, but later discovered potholes caused by public utility works,” he said in the grounds of judgment published on the judicial website yesterday.

He said the company argued that the hole was not their responsibility because it belonged to the utility company and should have been maintained by a subcontractor or other party.

“Despite the allegation, the company failed to initiate any third-party proceedings against any of the contractors or related parties in this suit.

“The court also found it reasonable that the victim failed to notice the pothole due to limited visibility and insufficient lighting in the residential area at the time of the incident,” he said.

Therefore, the court believed that the defendant had failed in their duty to maintain the road in question and that they were liable to the plaintiff under Section 7(3) of the Government Proceedings Act 1956 (GPA).

“Although this case refers to the government and the GPA, it is a basic principle that must be applied to the parties responsible to ensure that the roads provided are safe for users.

“Therefore, the Court awarded the plaintiff RM352,947.33 for special damages and RM368,000 for general damages,” he said.

However, the plaintiff will not receive the compensation yet because the company will file an appeal against the judgment in the High Court.

Pampasan RM721,000 kepada Mangsa Kemalangan Jalan Berlubang

Mahkamah Sesyen Johor Bahru memerintahkan sebuah syarikat penyelenggara jalan membayar pampasan RM721,000 kepada mangsa kemalangan setelah melanggar jalan berlubang.

Mangsa lelaki yang berusia 49 tahun itu tercedera selepas merempuh jalan berlubang yang tidak diselenggara di Pasir Gudang, berhampiran Taman Kota Masai, tiga tahun lalu.

Hakim, Sazlina Safie, membuat keputusan itu selepas mendapati Razali @ Mohd Leey Subeh, selaku plaintif (pihak yang mengeluarkan saman) berjaya membuktikan tuntutannya terhadap Safwa Global Venture (M) Sdn Bhd. Safwa Global Venture merupakan syarikat yang dilantik oleh kerajaan negeri untuk menyelenggara jalan berkenaan.

Beliau memfailkan saman terhadap syarikat berkenaan dan kerajaan negeri sebagai responden pertama dan kedua, masing-masing atas kecederaan dan kerosakan yang dialaminya akibat kejadian itu.

Puan Hakim Sazlina berkata, “Mahkamah boleh membuat kesimpulan bahawa dari tarikh kejadian (11 Feb 2021) sehingga kerja-kerja penggalian pada 29 September 2022, lubang itu kekal di tempat kejadian tanpa sebarang pembaikan, seperti yang diakui oleh semua saksi.

“Mahkamah mendapati isu jalan berlubang di tempat kejadian telah dibuktikan dan diakui oleh defendan.

“Syarikat itu juga mengemukakan kenyataan bercanggah dalam pembelaan mereka apabila pada mulanya mendakwa bahawa mereka tidak melihat sebarang jalan berlubang, tetapi kemudian menemui jalan berlubang yang disebabkan oleh kerja-kerja kemudahan awam,” katanya dalam alasan penghakiman yang disiarkan di laman web kehakiman semalam .

Beliau berkata, syarikat itu berhujah bahawa lubang itu bukan tanggungjawab mereka kerana ia milik syarikat utiliti dan sepatutnya diselenggara subkontraktor atau pihak lain.

“Di sebalik dakwaan itu, syarikat gagal memulakan sebarang prosiding pihak ketiga terhadap mana-mana kontraktor atau pihak yang berkaitan dalam saman ini.

“Mahkamah juga mendapati adalah munasabah mangsa gagal menyedari jalan berlubang berikutan jarak penglihatan yang terhad dan pencahayaan yang tidak mencukupi di kawasan perumahan pada waktu kejadian,” katanya.

Oleh itu, mahkamah percaya defendan telah gagal dalam tugas mereka untuk menyelenggara jalan berkenaan dan mereka bertanggungjawab kepada plaintif di bawah Seksyen 7(3) Akta Prosiding Kerajaan 1956 (GPA).

“Walaupun kes ini merujuk kepada kerajaan dan GPA, ia adalah prinsip asas yang mesti diterapkan kepada pihak yang bertanggungjawab bagi memastikan jalan yang disediakan selamat untuk pengguna.

“Oleh itu, Mahkamah menganugerahkan plaintif RM352,947.33 untuk ganti rugi khas dan RM368,000 untuk ganti rugi am,” katanya.

Namun, pihak plaintif belum akan menerima wang pampasan tersebut dalam masa terikini, kerana syarikat itu akan memfailkan rayuan penghakiman berkenaan di Mahkamah Tinggi.

Two Days Remand for Woman who Crossed Road and Caused Death of Motorcyclist

The 35-year-old woman who stopped the vehicle she was driving before crossing the road on foot and causing the death of a motorcyclist has been remanded for two days.

Temerloh District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Mazlan Hassan, said the passenger of the female vehicle involved, a 37-year-old Chinese man, was also remanded for three days to assist in the investigation.

“They were remanded from today for further investigation following the accident that involved the death of a man at the scene of the incident,” he said when contacted today.

In an incident at about 4pm yesterday at KM98.6 East Coast Highway 1 (LPT1) in the East direction, a 34-year-old man who worked as a musician at the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) died after the high-powered motorcycle he was riding crashed into a Mitsubishi Triton pickup.

Preliminary investigation found that the accident occurred as soon as the pickup driver hit the brakes after the woman driving a Mitsubishi Pajero jeep stopped on the left shoulder of the road before crossing to the right of the road.

“At the same time, the Suzuki GSX-R1000 type motorcycle that the victim was riding came from behind hit the pickup, before the victim fell in the fast lane while his motorcycle was thrown into the back of the vehicle,” he said.

The case is being investigated under Section 304(A) of the Penal Code for negligence causing death, he said.

Wanita yang Lintas Jalan Sebabkan Penunggang Motosikal Maut Direman

Seorang wanita berusia 35 tahun yang memberhentikan kenderaan yang dipandu sebelum melintas jalan sehingga menyebabkan seorang penunggang motosikal maut direman dua hari.

Ketua Polis Daerah Temerloh, Asisten Komisioner Mazlan Hassan, berkata penumpang kenderaan wanita terbabit iaitu seorang lelaki warga China berusia 37 tahun turut direman tiga hari bagi membantu siasatan.

“Mereka direman bermula hari ini bagi siasatan lanjut susulan kemalangan yang membabitkan seorang lelaki maut di lokasi kejadian,” katanya ketika dihubungi hari ini.

Dalam kejadian kira-kira jam 4 petang semalam di KM98.6 Lebuhraya Pantai Timur 1 (LPT1) arah Timur, seorang lelaki berusia 34 tahun yang bertugas sebagai pemuzik di Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) maut selepas motosikal berkuasa tinggi ditunggangnya merempuh sebuah pikap jenis Mitsubishi Triton.

Siasatan awal mendapati kemalangan berlaku sejurus pemandu pikap itu menekan brek mengejut selepas wanita terbabit yang memandu sebuah jip Mitsubishi Pajero berhenti di bahu kiri jalan sebelum melintas ke kanan laluan itu.

“Dalam masa sama, motosikal jenis Suzuki GSX-R1000 yang ditunggang mangsa datang dari arah belakang dan terus melanggar pikap itu, sebelum mangsa terjatuh di lorong laju manakala motosikalnya tercampak ke belakang kenderaan itu,” katanya.

Kes disiasat mengikut Seksyen 304(A) Kanun Keseksaan kerana cuai sehingga menyebabkan kematian, katanya.

I Want a Malaysian Rider as Well – Razlan Razali

Datuk Razlan Razali plans to start a new Moto3 team and it must have a Malaysian rider. He said, “I don’t want to have only an European rider, I want Malaysian a rider as well” in the team.

He said this because there was a request from a potential investor in Europe for him to run a Moto3 team in the 2025 World Motorcycle Championship.

This is a great opportunity to include a national talent like Hakim Danish Ramli who is currently competing in the JuniorGP World Championship and the Red Bull Rookies Cup.

“Last week, there was a request from sponsors and potential investors (from Europe) asking me to come back, at least for a Moto3 team. They have a rider they want to bring in but want their own team.

“So I used that opportunity, maybe one European rider and another Malaysian rider. For me, if I want to make a Moto3 team, I don’t want the team to be all from Europe (riders), I want to include Malaysian riders as well,” he said.

Datuk Razlan also wants Zulfahmi Khairuddin who leads the ZK Racing team to participate in the project.

“I also have to get Zulfahmi’s opinion on whether I want KTM (machinery). If Moto3 is between Honda and KTM, KTM is better and things like this have to be planned well,” said Razlan.

He expects the final decision about it may be known before the Grand Prix (GP) of Kazakhstan, mid-June.

Saya Tak Nak ada Pelumba Eropah Sahaja, Saya Nak Pelumba Malaysia Juga – Razlan Razali

Datuk Razlan Razali bercadang memulakan yang sebuah pasukan Moto3 baharu dan ia mestilah ada seorang pelumba Malaysia. Beliau berkata, “Saya tak nak ada pelumba Eropah sahaja, saya nak pelumba Malaysia juga” di dalam pasukan itu.

Beliau berkata demikian kerana terdepat permintaan daripada pelabur berpotensi di Eropah untuk beliau mengendalikan sebuah pasukan Moto3 di dalam Kejuaraan Motosikal Dunia 2025.

Ini merupakan peluang terbaik memasukkan seorang bakat negara seperti Hakim Danish Ramli yang sedang bersaing di Kejuaraan Dunia JuniorGP dan Red Bull Rookies Cup masa ini.

“Pada minggu lalu, ada permintaan daripada penaja serta pelabur berpotensi (dari Eropah) yang meminta saya datang semula, paling tidak untuk buat pasukan Moto3. Mereka mempunyai seorang pelumba yang hendak dibawa masuk tetapi nak pasukan sendiri.

“Jadi saya gunakan peluang itu, mungkin seorang pelumba Eropah dan seorang lagi pelumba Malaysia. Bagi saya, kalau nak buat pasukan Moto3, saya tak nak pasukan itu semuanya dari Eropah (pelumba), saya nak masukkan juga pelumba Malaysia,” katanya.

Datuk Razlan turut inginkan Zulfahmi Khairuddin yang mengemudi pasukan ZK Racing untuk turut serta dalam projek berkenaan.

“Saya juga kena dapatkan pendapat Zulfahmi sama ada nak (jentera) KTM. Kalau Moto3 antara Honda dan KTM, KTM lagi bagus dan perkara seperti ini kena rancang sebaiknya,” kata Razlan.

Beliau menjangkakan keputusan muktamad mengenainya mungkin diketahui sebelum Grand Prix (GP) Kazakhstan, pertengahan Jun ini.
