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

Three men - Wong Weng Luen, Lai Kae Bin and Wan Ken Fei - face serious charges for severely injuring Andrew Teh at a Bak Kut Teh restaurant in Kepong around 2 a.m. on May 7. The High Court today granted bail to 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 resolved.

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

Firdaus also mentioned Lai's minimal involvement in the incident and his attempts to stop it. After considering both sides, the judge granted bail to Lai. The prosecution proposed RM30,000 bail, while the defense sought to reduce it. On May 14, Lai and two others - Wong Weng Luen and Wan Ken Fei - were charged with intentionally causing grievous harm using a dangerous weapon or means at Bak Kut Teh Restaurant Hing Kee in Jalan Kepong around 2 a.m. on May 7.

They were charged with the offense at Sessions Court. The court did not grant bail. In August, Sessions Court ordered Wong to undergo psychiatric examination at Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta after granting his request for such an examination, while Wan failed to convince the High Court to waive the requirement for his bail application.
