Suhaila also ordered Nur Fatin to pay a fine of RM3,300 for three other offences, namely not having a driving license, driving a car without road tax and insurance. The accused also pleaded guilty to all three offences.
Nur Fatin is currently undergoing proceedings on the fifth charge, which is the offence of inserting drugs into the body, reported Harian Metro.
Previously, she was arrested and investigated in accordance with Section 41 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 and Section 15 (1) (a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 for causing death by reckless driving as well as being found positive for drugs as a result of urine screening tests.
This comes after she killed a Senior Soldier Mohd Rizal Buseri, 31, who died at the scene while she survived the crash.
