How much do drivers earn?

I am not too sure how much a Honda City costs, but surely it's a cheap car. The late driver of DS Chan Kong Choy's drove one and he died in it. The Star's highlighted Chan’s driver killed in road crash.

I'm still driving a 22-year old junk. Me, a M.S. degree holder and a member of few professional institution!

Chan’s driver killed in road crash

SHAH ALAM: Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy's driver Balan Nair

was killed when the car he was driving collided with a lorry at the 13.3 kilometre of the New Klang Valley Expressway here on Wednesday night.

Shah Alam Traffic Police Chief DSP Zainy Mohd Noor said Balan was on his way from Kuala Lumpur to Klang when the Honda City he was driving hit the back of the lorry at about 10.30pm.

Balan, 49, died on the spot.

Chan's political secretary Wong Kung Foo said Balan had served Chan for 20 years and was a dedicated worker.

His body has been sent to his hometown in Bentong, Pahang, for burial.

Chan, who had just returned with Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak from France, said he would ensure the welfare of Balan's wife and son. –Bernama
