Kota Kinabalu: A 27-year-old Filipino permanent resident, charged with dangerous driving which caused the death of an expectant teacher last month, has seven traffic summonses, including an arrest warrant against him, the Magistrate's Court heard on Friday.Traffic prosecuting officer Inspector Hanif Mamyudi told Magistrate Cindy Mc Juce Balitus that the arrest warrant against the accused, Binji Daih, was issued in 2012 for overloading passengers.The warrant could not be executed due to a different address used by Binji, said Hanif, responding to a bail application for Binji by his counsel Luke Ressa Balang.
