2 Myanmar nationals face joint charge of injuring cop
Case mention will be held on Oct 14, so that a Myanmar interpreter can be present in court.
RAUB, October 2 — Two Myanmar nationals appeared in the Sessions Court to face charges of causing serious injury to a police corporal last month. The court, however, did not read out the charges as the men, aged 26 and 30, did not understand Malay. Deputy Public Prosecutors Wong Zhi Qian and Hardave Singh Baldeb Sing presented the case, proposing no bail as the foreigners lacked valid documents to reside in Malaysia.
Judge Siti Hajar Mustaffa set October 14 for the case to be mentioned, allowing a Myanmar interpreter to be present. The court also denied bail to both men. The incident occurred on September 25, when a 40-year-old police corporal was reportedly seriously injured after being assaulted by the two Myanmar men he had reprimanded for making noise in Kampung Pamah Kulat.
Acting Pahang police chief Datuk Azry Akmar Ayob stated that the policeman was responding to complaints from residents concerning the suspects, who were reportedly drunk and playing loud music through a loudspeaker.
