00:12The Ayer Kero Magistrates' Court on Friday delivered the verdict on 45-year-old Lee Han Wee
00:17after finding the defence had failed to raise reasonable doubt against the prosecution's case.
00:23The court also ordered Lee's driving licence to be suspended for 10 years
00:28upon completing his jail sentence. The offence was committed on Jalan Limbongan in Klebang
