PETALING JAYA: A private university student pleaded not guilty in the Kuala Lumpur magistrates’ court today to a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol and crashing into a security barrier at Gate 2 of Istana Negara.
M Kajen, 22, entered the plea when the charge was read to him before magistrate Khairunnisak Hassni, Bernama reported.
He is accused of driving a car while having an alcohol level of 166mg per 100ml of blood, exceeding the legal limit, at Gate 2 of Istana Negara on Jalan Changkat Semantan, Kuala Lumpur, at about 3.50am today.
Framed under Section 45A(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, the charge provides for a fine of up to RM10,000, up to five years’ imprisonment and disqualification from holding a driving licence for up to five years, upon conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor Shazwan Hasifi Shahrun proposed bail of RM10,000.
Kajen requested a lower amount, saying he is pursuing his studies and comes from a low-income family.
The court granted him bail of RM4,000 with one surety and fixed Feb 26 for remention of the case.
