Four Chinese nationals were charged at the Sessions Court in Balik Pulau for kidnapping a Singaporean man and demanding a ransom of SGD1 million (approximately RM3.28 million). The accused individuals, Liu Ting Jun, Huang Jian, Wang Hao Yu, and Guan Siqi, all pleaded not guilty. The victims, Quek Aik Teng, were allegedly abducted and wrongfully confined at Penang International Airport on July 26, 2022.
The charges under the Kidnapping Act 1961 and the Penal Code could result in imprisonment for up to 40 years and caning. Bail applications were denied due to the severity of the offense and public interest. Further investigation into the suspects' passports is ongoing, and a review is awaiting confirmation from the Malaysian Immigration Department.
