May his soul rest in peace. Our law should be changed to give huge penalty and death punishment for accident killers and thieves. Both should be treated as killers because one is deadly killer and another is live killer.

These KL drivers are very rash, even in the city they drive as if the road is their ancestral property.

Another life is lost in A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT caused by a negligent driver. Elementary courtesy and and kindness towards the victim calls for attention, concern and First Aid from the erring driver. Instead the unconcerned callous driver tries to escape.

It is good to see that under the alert eyes of S.P. Annamalai nothing escapes.

My sincere sympathies to all the members of the deceased.

Kudos to the Police Department.
