Two friends appeared in court today, pleading not guilty to attempting a robbery worth RM8.2 million in Brickfields. Salesman Tan Kah Seng, 35, and mechanic Tan Chien Ann, 30, faced charges of trying to steal three bags of jewellery from Toung Zheng Fay, 30, armed with a machete outside a hotel in Brickfields at 10am on October 14.
The alleged crime falls under Sections 393 and 397 of the Penal Code, with potential penalties of up to seven years and 14 years imprisonment, respectively, along with fines. Deputy Public Prosecutor Syafika Azwa Fikri denied bail, citing the serious nature of the offence and the high value of the stolen items. Their lawyer, Revin Kumar, argued for bail, noting that Kah Seng was supporting his family, while Chien Ann had his own dependents.
Judge Noor Aini Yusof set bail at RM15,000 with each accused providing one surety, with a mention date set for November 30.
