I stated that in the context of letting the Judge have the choice of setting a legal precedence.
It will be used to highlight that there are ramifications.
Prevention is better than cure.
If the judge lets this slide, we should all just stop paying roadtax and insurance, then just suka hati drive. Want to sue, sue loh. We won't sign any letters from the court, don't settle with whomever we langgar.
I want to explain 2 scenarios:
If one person (let's call him Q, who has family and job) involves in a car accident at his fault, then he will be sued in court,
if he wants to settle by making compensation, then this case can close, no more issue.
What if Q is stubborn? He does not want to settle by making compensation, then he will be sued in court.
Then plaintiff can send Q to jail, and plaintiff will provide meals for Q to stay in jail, that is RM 35 per day.
Now imagine, since Q has family and job, do you think Q wants to go to jail?
Even if plaintiff sends Q to jail for 1 day, Q will have a prisoner record in his whole life.
This is why civil case can use this method (go to jail) to threaten Q to compromise by making compensation.
Now we come back to talk about Chen Yoon Kwee, Chen Yoon Kwee is a garbage who goes to jail very often,
he does not have job, and his Sarawak wife already ran away (Chen Yoon Kwee's mother told bailiff).
Chen Yoon Kwee is different from Q, to threaten or to scare Chen Yoon Kwee to go to jail does not work for Chen Yoon Kwee.
Maybe Chen Yoon Kwee is very happy to go to jail since he can get free meals in jail.
We still need to buy car insurance and road tax to protect us from getting into trouble unless if we want to be Chen Yoon Kwee
