KUALA LUMPUR: Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng has questioned why allegations that a gun was pointed at a Vietnamese woman remain unanswered, despite a businessman being charged over her alleged assault at a club here.
Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng has raised questions about a gun being involved in an assault charge against a Vietnamese woman in Kuala Lumpur, despite the businessman being charged with the alleged assault. Lim requested clarification from the police on whether a firearm was actually used in the incident, whether it was recovered, licensed, and who owned and possessed it.
The businessman, Tan Zhie Yang, was charged with voluntarily causing hurt under Section 323 of the Penal Code after Dao Thi Kim Tra, 28, claimed she was assaulted and threatened with a gun in the VIP room of a club on Aug 4. The police received a report on Aug 6 and investigated the case, but have not yet addressed the serious allegation involving the firearm.
