A 20-year-old Chinese university student, Chen Jun, faces up to 20 years in prison if found guilty of allegedly causing grievous harm to his former girlfriend and her 18-year-old brother in a pre-dawn attack in Kepong. Charged with two counts of causing grievous hurt under Section 326 of the Penal Code, Chen pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur on Monday. The alleged incident occurred at a residence in Taman Sri Bintang, Kepong, around 5am on September 29.
Deputy public prosecutor Nurainizatul Farhana Zainal did not grant bail for Chen, citing the non-bailable nature of the offences. However, if the court were to consider bail, the prosecution sought a RM8,000 bond with two Malaysian sureties and the surrender of Chen's passport. Defense counsel Ling Yee Siew argued that Chen, who is studying finance, suffers from depression and is not a flight risk.
She sought a lower bail amount, requesting the court to allow her client to undergo follow-up treatment for a leg injury sustained during the incident.
The court granted bail at RM8,000 with two Malaysian sureties and ordered Chen to surrender his passport. The court set November 11 for the next mention, and Chen appeared in court using a wheelchair.
