  "account": "The Malaysian court granted 20-year-old Chen Jun bail of RM8,000 with two Malaysian sureties following his arraignment for allegedly stabbing his ex-girlfriend and her younger brother with a knife. Chen, a university student, denies two charges of causing grievous hurt under Section 326 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, a fine, or caning upon conviction. The incidents occurred at a house in Taman Sri Bintang, Kepong, on September 29 at 5am. The prosecution did not request bail, citing the non-bailable nature of the offenses. If the court were to grant bail, the prosecution proposed the amount be set at RM8,000 with two local sureties, and Chen surrender his passport to the court. Chen's lawyer, Ling Yee Siew, argued for a reduced bail amount, citing her client's pursuit of a finance degree and a medical report indicating he suffers from depression and had a leg injury from self-harm while experiencing depression. Judge Suhaila Haron set Chen's bail at RM8,000 with two Malaysian sureties, subject to additional prosecution conditions, and set a case mention date of November 11.",
