Two Myanmar men charged with injuring policeman
RAUB: Two Myanmar citizens were brought before the Sessions Court here today to face a joint charge of causing injury to a policeman last month.
Two Myanmar citizens were brought before the Sessions Court in Malaysia to face charges for allegedly injuring a policeman, according to prosecutors. The accused men, aged 26 and 30, did not understand Malay, the court language. Deputy public prosecutors Wong Zhi Qian and Hardave Singh Baldeb Singh conducted the prosecution, arguing for no bail as the foreigners did not possess valid travel documents to stay in Malaysia.
Judge Siti Hajar Mustaffa denied bail and set October 14 for the next court appearance, allowing a Myanmar interpreter to be present. The incident occurred on September 25 when a 40-year-old police corporal was seriously injured after being assaulted by the two Myanmar men, who reportedly reprimanded the officer for noise complaints from residents. The suspects were allegedly drunk and playing loud music using a loudspeaker near a roadside.
