I suppose law works like this, whoever argues the best, wins. If you fail to object the defence, then the defence is not wrong. If I kill someone intentionally and say I thought it was a mannequin and the prosecution does not object that, then I am not wrong to kill someone.
why is our public prosecutor sooo bad then???
where is all our tax payers money gone? Does it mean if you are rich and hire a better lawyer you can get off with $2400 for hit and run???
Then where is the deterent in our laws? does it mean lexus drivers can knock people down and drive away? What is $2400 to them...

I told ya, even if I'm the judge, I would have believed her, cos she is a woman, and that's how most of them drive.
The appeal is not about the accident but how she drove away without giving aid, ie hit and run. I think the punishment for hit and run must be very high. Accident sometimes its not intentional but due to poor driving skills but hit and run...I told ya, even if I'm the judge, I would have believed her, cos she is a woman, and that's how most of them drive.

In that case you should ban all females from driving, no? Otherwise one day some reckless driver will run you down and she's gonna get away with a 2.5k fine while you suck thumb in the hospital.
ok.. simply jail those whom hit and run. Best jail them for life. For god sake
the cyclist should count himself lucky the lady dint go after him for damages caused to her Lexus.
the cyclist should count himself lucky the lady didnt drag him to death...
Woohooo! next time I can go on a rampage in a Lexus and plea innocent because I couldn't see what I hit nor hear what I am dragging behind!
If she is really THAT blind, she ought to be barred from driving permanently because she IS a road hazard.
If she is really THAT DUMB, she ought to be taken off the road
Actually, if the cyclist was really cycling in the middle of the road, the driver should have seen him correct?
"The impact caused the cyclist, Mr Muhammad Asri Aris, 19, to be flung onto the windscreen before landing on the left side of the road. The windscreen was cracked as a result.
Wong heard a bang and looked in that direction." - CNA
Perhaps one of her ears were not as efficient as the other, and as such she perceived the sound to be coming from one side, not the front (despite the cyclist smashing on her windscreen)
But the whole thing is ridiculous. Next we'll see people waving the tree branch/soundproof defence. But luckily the gang youths haven't learned this trick from Cleopatra, otherwise we'll see road rages everywhere, and they will just get off with a simple fine.
