Territorial Army soldier jailed, fined for drink driving
TAWAU: A Territorial Army soldier was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined RM10,000 by the magistrate's court here today after pleading guilty to a drink driving offence committed last year. Davyson Nyanggau Lawai, 36, was initially charged under Section 44(1A)(b) of the Road Transport Act 1987 (Amendment 2020) for driving under the influence, with a blood alcohol level above the permitted limit. The original charge carries a sentence of seven to 10 years' imprisonment, a fine ranging from RM50,000 to RM100,000, and a 10-year driving licence suspension upon conviction. However, his lawyer submitted a representation to the Attorney-General's Chambers requesting a plea bargain. The prosecution accepted the proposal and reduced the charge to Section 45A(1) of the same act. Davyson then pleaded guilty before magistrate Don Stiwin Malanjum. The amended charge carries a maximum penalty of two years' imprisonment and a fine of between RM10,000 and RM30,000. According to court documents, the accused, a corporal with the Territorial Army stationed at the Kukusan Camp was driving a Perodua Bezza when he was found to have a blood alcohol concentration of 372mg per 100ml, far exceeding the legal limit of 50mg per 100ml. The incident occurred about 10.45pm on April 25, last year, along Jalan Utara Simpang. The offence also led to a road accident that injured a 27-year-old male motorcyclist. The prosecution was led by deputy public prosecutor Shearil Aizad Murnizam, while the accused was represented by Jhesseny P. Kang.
