Question

Accepted Answer

The child driver lost control of the Proton Saga after driving for approximately two kilometres and approaching a shop area.

The 11-year-old driver lost control of the Proton Saga while approaching a shop area, causing the vehicle to skid into a roadside drain. This incident occurred after the child had been driving the car for about two kilometres. No injuries were reported, and the car sustained only minor damage to its front.
Vehicle was taken for a trip to the shops

The 11-year-old child took the car keys while their mother was briefly away to use the toilet. The child then took their younger sibling, who is seven years old and a UNHCR cardholder, along with their Malaysian cousin, to go to a nearby shop.
Driving occurred without a licence

Initial investigations revealed that the 11-year-old child had driven the Proton Saga for two kilometres. The child was not licensed to drive, and the vehicle was taken without the explicit permission of the mother, who had only left the children momentarily.
Incident under police investigation

The South Klang police are investigating the incident under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless driving and Section 39(1) of the same law for driving without a licence. Additionally, the Child Act 2001 is being considered to ascertain any elements of child neglect. Statements have been recorded from the parents of the child driver.
