Lelaki Singapura mengaku tak salah halang tugas polis, miliki senjata

A 46-year-old Singaporean man, Gary Lim Kian Liang, appeared before the Johor Bahru Sessions and High Court judge, Nor Aziati Jaafar, and High Court judge, Nurzihan Abdul Rehman, to deny three charges, including obstructing a police officer's duties and having a dangerous weapon. The charges were read out in English to the businessman who owns a restaurant in Jalan Lingkaran Dalam.

At the Sessions Court, Lim was accused of possessing a 8.5cm long knife without proper authorization, which could result in imprisonment for up to five years and a maximum of ten years. At the High Court, he was accused of deliberately obstructing Police Chief Rahimi Ali from carrying out his duties at the same location and time.

He was charged under Section 186 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which could lead to up to two years in prison or a fine of up to RM10,000 or both, if found guilty. Lim was also accused of deliberately causing injury to a 30-year-old local woman using a knife at the same location on August 15 at 11:58 PM. For this offense, he was charged under Section 324 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which could result in imprisonment for up to ten years or a fine or both, depending on the circumstances.

Lim's lawyer pointed out that the defendant has a wife and mother-in-law and no stable income. The defendant also has a mental health condition, major depression, and requires ongoing treatment. Both courts have set a RM20,000 bail, and the cases will be heard again on September 25. Meanwhile, local man G Thinesh Kumar, 28, also appeared before Majistret A Shaarmini, denying charges of causing injury to Lim using a crowbar at the same time and place.
