JOHOR BARU: A cleaning company supervisor was charged at the Sessions and magistrate's courts here today with three counts of robbery and one count of injuring four Rohingya men in August and this month.
On August 26 and September 9, a 26-year-old cleaning supervisor named Muhammad Haziq Mohd Rizar was charged with multiple counts of robbery and injuring four Rohingya men in Taman Perling, Johor Baru. Haziq faces three counts of robbery and one charge of voluntarily causing hurt, all under different sections of the Penal Code. If convicted, he could face up to 14 years in jail for the robberies, and up to a year for the hurt charge, along with fines and potential whipping.
The alleged robberies involved taking items such as a Honda C100 motorcycle key, a lawnmower, motorcycle keys, a UNHCR card, and a tree branch cutter from three victims who hold UNHCR cards. The fourth incident involved causing hurt to another Rohingya man near a playing field. Haziq pleaded not guilty to all charges, and the court set bail at RM16,000 for all four counts. The case is scheduled for further mention on October 8 and October 28.
