6 years ago, in February 2017, a young’s woman’s nightmare in Johor Bahru began when she was involved in an accident.  22 years old then, Sam Ke Ting was driving home in the early hours of the morning when she unexpectedly encountered a group of cyclists riding along a hilly and winding road that was also said to have poor lighting. Her car crashed into the 8 teenage cyclists who died as a result of severe injuries.

Following the accident, which she pleaded not guilty to, there was a court case where she was acquitted. The prosecution appealed against the judgement and on this second occasion, she was again acquitted. The Johor Bahru Magistrate’s Court upheld its decision as the prosecution had failed to prove their case again and reasonable doubt arose, based on all the evidence presented earlier.

Sime Darby Motors, which began with just a few brands, today handles 8 passenger vehicle brands, as well as sells pre-owned vehicles (through Sime Darby Auto Selection). The brands are BMW, MINI, Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover, Ford, Hyundai and more recently, BYD.

For example, it has a Body & Paint (B&P) centre in Bukit Jelutong, Selangor to serve customers in the Klang Valley and the Sime Darby Auto Selection Service Centre provides services for post-warranty vehicles.

Now it has also opened a B&P centre on Penang island to serve customers in the northern region. Costing RM3 million, the facility covers approximately 20,000 sq ft and can service and repair up to 80 vehicles a month which require body repair or refinishing work.
