Basikal Lajak Case: Sam Ke Ting Freed

Apr 11, 2023

Sam Ke Ting, the clerk involved in the 2017 Basikal Lajak case is now a free woman.

This is after the Court of Appeal overturned a lower court’s decision, which convicted her of reckless driving, and sentenced her to a 6-year jail term and a fine.

It unanimously ruled that her charge and conviction were defective.

Sam went on trial over the deaths of eight teenagers, who were riding modified bicycles in Johor Bahru.
