Malaysians debate privilege after 3 killed by 18-year-old driver without licence
The sister of an 18-year-old driver involved in a fatal accident in Malaysia, which resulted in the deaths of three teenage motorcyclists, has issued a tearful apology. This follows widespread public anger directed at the family for seemingly prioritizing their own plight over the suffering of the victims' families after the sister initially asked the public not to blame her brother and instead pray for his recovery.
The accident occurred last Thursday night in the Senawang district, where the unlicensed driver allegedly ran a red light, colliding with two motorcycles and killing two students aged 15 and 16 instantly. A third 17-year-old motorcyclist died later in the hospital. The driver, who is now under investigation for reckless or dangerous driving and faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted, is also hospitalized.
