On the third and fourth count, Lim was charged under the Road Transport Act with reckless driving and driving a motor vehicle with alcohol concentration above the prescribed limit.

The court set July 13 for case management.
Deputy public prosecutor Rais Imran Hamid prosecuted, while lawyer Datin A. Punithawathi represented Lim.
