Inappropriate words and passive voice

THE STAR NEWS Courts Tuesday October 30, 2007
Karpal case: Dec 12 decision
PENANG: The bank manager who crashed his car into the back of a taxi carrying DAP national chairman Karpal Singh has admitted the offence.
Lau Yee Fuat, 44, pleaded guilty to the offence when his case was called up at the magistrate's court yesterday.
The case had originally been fixed for continued hearing.
Lau, represented by Bala Mahesan, was charged with reckless driving which had caused his car to crash into the taxi and injuring Karpal Singh, who is also Bukit Gelugor MP.
Lau was alleged to have committed the offence in Jalan Utama at 12.15am on Jan 29, 2005. The accident occurred outside Karpal Singh’s house.
Magistrate Ooi Sheow Yean, however, could not sentence Lau because his counsel objected to the prosecution tendering Karpal Singh's medical report.
Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Azizah Ahmad was submitting the facts of the case and was about to tender the medical report when Bala objected.
He said the medical report would prejudice the court.
Azizah said the medical report was important to show the consistency of the injuries sustained by Karpal Singh.
To this, Bala replied that the fact of the case was sufficient and the medical report was irrelevant.
Ooi then said it was the prosecution's prerogative whether to submit the medical report or not. She postponed sentencing to Dec 12.

It's careless, not reckless, driving
REFERRING to our report 'Karpal case: Dec 12 decision' yesterday, it has been pointed out that bank manager Lau Yee Fuat was charged with careless and not reckless driving.
Also, counsel Bala Mahesan had stated that the medical report was inadmissible and not irrelevant as reported.
This second report is actually a correction message of the earlier report which contains inappropriate uses of words. The correction message is using a passive voice in its first paragraph not letting the reader know who pointed out and making the paragraph/sentence grammatically unsound.
