Though the fb post is no longer available, it did show the where the impact point was, and more important, the moments after the impact until the car stopped.
It obviously shows the driver has no control of the car after the impact.
The million dollar question: was the driver in control of the car before hitting the bike?
In control meaning the driver is driving the car at a speed he has control over and able to stop at a notice and reasonable distance, heading and guiding the car in a direction he wants with his eyes on the road and hands on the steering wheel.
In short, if a car is going straight on the road, it could be the mechanics of the wheel alignment that is holding the car straight, and not the driver. The driver is merely a passenger and not in control of the car.
The driver has clearly lost control over his vehicle after the point of impact. Was he in control before impact?

As someone who drives in Penang for more than 5 years, motorcyclists are coming out from junctions without stopping or without even looking 95% of the time. I am always angry about them and curse them to be rolled under big lorries. But that doesn't mean I can hit them to death and escape any punishment.
When a motorcyclist comes out from junction IN A RESIDIENTIAL AREA without checking,
A. Car with proper speed and driver with full attention, would have seen that almost immediately, initiated an emergency brake, knocked down the motorcyclist with injury, and the motorcyclist should fall down almost the same spot where he/she gets knocked.
B. Car which is over speeding, driver who are not paying attention ( probably playing phone ), would not see him/her coming out from junction, continue speeding, then hear a big bang, drag for a few meters, motorcyclist fly up high, only then come to brake.
In this case, the BMW driver obviously speeding ( from the video ) in residential area, not paying attention ( did not brake in time and some more dragged her body for such long distance ) and doesn't respect for others' life at all ( being cocky and not even apologizing after killing auntie ).
This driver should get sentenced for maximum ( 10 years for dangerous driving I think ? ) punishment. Sadly there is no heavier punishment for drive-to-kill in Malaysia.
No longer have access to the fb post, the car went off the road after hitting the bike... something like the red line drawn in below picture...
