Kepong restaurant assault: Technician seeks lesser charge through A-GC representation
KUALA LUMPUR: A technician charged with causing grievous hurt to a businessman during a restaurant attack has submitted a representation to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (A-GC), seeking a reduction of the charge against him.
In a recent assault case at a Kepong restaurant, a technician, Lai Kae Bin, has submitted a representation to the Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) seeking a reduction of the charge against him from causing grievous hurt to a lesser charge. The incident, which took place on May 7, involved Lai and two others, carpenter Wong Weng Luen and memorial centre worker Wan Ken Fei, assaulting businessman Andrew Teh using dangerous weapons.
Lai's lawyer, Muhamad Firdaus Jumaludin, stated that his client felt the existing charge was too serious and requested a review under Section 326 of the Penal Code. The prosecution has yet to receive crucial evidence, including Wong's psychiatric report, CCTV forensic report, and the victim's full medical reports. The case remains ongoing, with the next hearing set for October 13.
