And said in the position of the law is to prove the driver at fault before making a guilty verdict. The driver shouldn't bear all the responsible due to a fatal accident.

A family member of the deceased confessed that they were disappointed with the decision, but could only accept it and move on with their lives.

The family said, no matter what happened, the parents of the victims will always be accused of not knowing how to take care of their children and being irresponsible, allowing their children to ride in the early hours of the morning. She also said that if she knew the child did this, of course, they would not allow it.

Another family member said they could only accept the verdict and let this tragedy pass. Each time the court hearing, the family of the deceased also has to face the pain and trauma. She believes that Sam Ke Ting will also regret and feel troubled.
