Drink Driving (Part 1) - Perils of Mandatory Sentencing

from Consider This · host Consider This

Former Appeals Court judge VC George has urged the Dewan Negara to reconsider amendments to the Road Transport Bill, which is aimed at curbing driving under the influence of alcohol. The amendments were passed by Parliament on August 26th, and will be tabled in the Upper House this week. According to VC George, the amendments take away the discretion of the judges in determining the punishment to be meted out. Is this a bad move? Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan bring you the most important conversations of the day.
