Lelaki dituduh serang pelanggan di restoran bak kut teh dibenar ikat jamin

Three men, Wong Weng Luen, Lai Kae Bin, and Wan Ken Fei, are facing charges of intentionally causing severe injury to Andrew Teh at a Bak Kut Teh restaurant in Kepong around 2 in the morning on May 7th. The High Court has granted bail for Lai Kae Bin, 33, after hearing arguments from both the prosecution and defense. The court set bail at RM20,000 with a surety and ordered Lai to surrender his passport until the case is concluded.

He must also report to Kepong Police Station weekly and avoid approaching the victim or any witnesses in the case. Prior to this, Deputy Prosecutor Haslida Ismail contested the bail application, requesting the court to consider the severity of the incident that resulted in the victim's injury and the possibility of Lai fleeing. Lai's lawyer, Firdaus Jumaludin, argued that Lai's father recently passed away, and there is no risk of him fleeing as Lai needs to take care of his elderly mother.

Firdaus also stated that Lai's involvement in the incident was minimal, as he both initiated and tried to stop the event. After considering both arguments, the judge granted Lai's bail application. The prosecution proposed RM30,000 bail, while the defense sought a reduction. On May 14th, Lai and two others - Wong Weng Luen and Wan Ken Fei - were charged in the Sessions Court with intentionally causing severe injury to Andrew Teh, 47, using a weapon or dangerous means at the Hing Kee Bak Kut Teh restaurant in Jalan Kepong around 2 in the morning on May 7th.

They were charged with the offense that took place in Restoran Hing Kee Bak Kut Teh in Jalan Kepong around 2 in the morning on May 7th. The court did not grant them bail. In August, the Sessions Court ordered Wong to undergo psychiatric assessment at Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta following approval of his request for such an assessment, while Wan failed to convince the High Court to waive his bail denial.
