In July 2020, the Malaysian government approved proposed amendments to the Sections 41 to 45 of the Road Transport Act 1987. In this case which did not result in injuries or death, Section 45 is applicable, and the amendment states that first-time offenders caught driving while intoxicated or on drugs will be fined a minimum of RM1,000 up to a maximum of RM5,000, and/or a jail term of less than two years as well as a disqualification of their driving license for a minimum of two years.
Those caught with subsequent offences under Section 45 will see fines of a minimum of RM5,000 up to a maximum of RM10,000, and/or a jail term of less than five years and a disqualification of their driving license for a minimum of five years.

Bravo, just jail him
Its okay according to liberals, rempits are even worse.
Tanam more ketum – manifesto P.N.
No, no, no….put him on death sentence. Put on a show to set an example for education. Take drugs you must die!
Let us compare the accidents and/or fatalities caused by drivers under influence of ganja and alcohol. I think the data compiled for latter is much more than the former.
Definitely not just marijuana
Exactly! You will stick in your lane till your destination, not even bother to change lane let alone drive like this maniac. Everything around you will be slow somemore how to drive fast leh hahahah
If you have money you can always lower your sentence, next they will say he is a diabetes patient who was late on his medication.
Lexus Safety Sense fail?
You can crash a Tesla Model X the same way.
This is serious stuff. That stoned driver was impaired in vision & judgement. He could’ve crashed into a crowd of people, causing deaths. He should be banned from driving for at least 6 yrs.
Do you actually have experience? Sheeple like u that say things like this have no clue about the topic, just believe whatever your society, teachers, elders tell you is bad is bad.
Life sentence not just 6 years
Makes no difference
One doesn’t need drug taking experience to reckon the enormous society ills caused by junkies. And for that matter, we don’t need actual life experience in cheating, chronic gambling, paedophilia, violent sex behavior.. to know that these practices bring great harm to society & family. Whatever you are smoking, please seek help
Itulah sibuk bikin roadblock untuk alcohol sahaja, miss all these clowns who are doing other drugs. Padahal accidents/deaths due to alcohol intoxication in Malaysia are one of the lowest globally.
They catch all kinds of intoxication, not just alcohol lah bodoh.
Eh bodoh sombong sejak bila, lu pergi mont kiara or mana mana in KL this weekend you tengok for yourself sebelum buka mulut. Technology is there but tak guna.
Driving a lexus fines 1000 or 5000 is like RM1.00 or Rm5.00 to them.
time to legalize weed yo
Thank God no one was injured
Weed don’t do this to a person. He definitely took some other drugs!
Could his insurance company refuse to pay for damages to the other cars? – since he is under influence of illegal drug.
who doped him? he must had provokes those association bosses?
No one really knows how many times he was driving on drugs. Luckily, he did not take any lives. Hard to tell whether he can be rehabilitate but the maximum penalty should be imposed as to deterrent.
The penalty is too light…give him death sentence
covid no mask: RM10k
maniac driving under drug: min RM1k~RM5k
thats cheap, consider he can easily cause death with that kind of speed
Suddenly become mentally-illed.
OKU card with ‘Alcohol is what making people sane’
Unless he is on the synthetic, as an seasoned user, I can safely say it’s not the Mary Jane, and I’m not talking Spiderman.
aiyaa…sure gaotim sooner or later
this kind of ppl also can afford lexus
This very2 highly marijuana intoxicated driver must be charged not only for dangerous driving but deadly homicidal driving!!!
how can you arrest god?
Amazing driving skill better than mine.
