"We are investigating whether the races involved betting, and who was organising them," Bakri said. He said those found guilty of illegal racing face a jail term up to five years and a maximum fine of RM15,000."We decided to let off the spectators with a warning this time. In future, they will be charged and face a fine of RM2,000."**Quote from NST, http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/nst/Monday/Frontpage/20060710073347/Article/index_html</blockquote>
