He said, “Let us introduce Sharia Law into road crashes, and people will wake up. Our people are too careless, and the vehicle owners don’t bother to check them. If we don’t introduce Sharia law, many road users, especially in this area, would not start thinking twice before doing whatever they want to do.
He added that if the driver lost his life in a crash, “if found guilty, the owner of the vehicle would also be held responsible as it would be revealed that he didn’t do his homework before giving out the vehicle.”
