Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal said the proposal is necessary because the incident claimed the life of an innocent person. He added that the Klang incident was a form of extreme negligence that should be considered a serious crime against society, noting that existing punishments fail to provide sufficient solutions. “This proves that the current legal approach is no longer sufficient to address the increasingly worrying issue of drunk driving,” Wan Ahmad Fayhsal said in a statement yesterday. “People who get drunk, drive and hit people to death should be punished with death,” he said. Meanwhile, South Klang OCPD Asst Comm Lim Jit Huey confirmed the driver involved in the Klang incident has been remanded until April 2.
