The Jelutong MP said if there is still no update from the police and the Attorney-General’s Chambers by the time the Dewan Rakyat reconvenes next month, he would have no option but to raise the matter there.

“At present, there has been no indication that the investigation has been closed. Nor has there been any statement that action will be taken against the bus driver. Everything remains uncertain.

“If they do not respond, I will bring it up during my debates in Parliament in June and ask for the outcome of this particular investigation,” he said at a press conference today.

Rayer said three letters were sent to the police between Nov 24 and April 19, along with a police report lodged by the victim’s mother, but no response had been forthcoming.

He questioned why the AGC had not acted, saying such accidents involving buses and motorcyclists conventionally lead to the driver being charged in court.

“The driver could potentially be charged under Sections 41 and 42 of the Road Transport Act (for reckless driving or causing death by reckless driving),” said Rayer, a lawyer by profession.

The victim, 17, was travelling from Gat Lebuh Macallum to his home in Persiaran Karpal Singh when his motorcycle collided with a Rapid Penang bus on Nov 13. He died at the scene.

Police said the victim was believed to have swerved into the lane of the bus before the collision. Rapid Penang had said it would fully cooperate with the probe and handed over CCTV footage from the bus to the police.

In February, Rayer held a press conference with the victim’s parents, urging the police and AGC to provide an update on the case.
