Chinese student pleads not guilty to stabbing ex-girlfriend
You Wei appeared before the Shah Alam Sessions Court today, where he was formally charged with causing grievous bodily harm after allegedly attacking the victim with a knife on July 14. The incident occurred at a private educational institution in the Sunway area, where the accused allegedly inflicted a stab wound to the left side of the woman's neck.
The charges fall under Section 326 of the Penal Code, which carries severe penalties including imprisonment for up to two decades, monetary fines, or corporal punishment if a conviction is secured.
According to FMT, during court proceedings, the defendant acknowledged understanding the charges but stated his disagreement with them.
The prosecution, led by deputy public prosecutor Nurul Sofea Jaysal, opposed bail applications, arguing that the accused posed a flight risk due to his foreign national status.
Defence counsel Revin Kumar countered by emphasising his client's willingness to comply with court-imposed conditions. The lawyer highlighted that You Wei intended to remain in Malaysia to complete his academic programme and would adhere to reporting requirements, including passport surrender and regular police check-ins.
The defence also disclosed that the accused suffers from bipolar disorder and is currently receiving medical treatment for the condition.
Sessions judge Norazlin Othman granted bail set at RM20,000 with two guarantors. The court imposed additional conditions prohibiting contact with the victim and other witnesses, mandating passport surrender, and requiring monthly police station visits.
The case has been scheduled for mention on September 17.

Chegubard arrested by police over sedition allegation, says lawyer
KUALA LUMPUR: Bersatu Port Dickson division chief Badrul Hisham Shaharin, better known as Chegu Bard, was detained by police at his house today in connection with an opposition gathering on Saturday. His lawyer, Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali, in a statement, said the political activist was arrested at 2.30pm at his home. He said they received confirmation that a police report had been lodged against Chegu Bard in connection with the gathering held at Dataran Merdeka on Saturday. "He was supposed to meet with the investigating officer in Bukit Aman at 11am tomorrow," Rafique said, adding that the arrest was unnecessary as Chegu Bard had given an undertaking to present himself at the police headquarters. Earlier, acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Mohamed Usuf Mohamed Jan was reported as saying that police had received four reports so far in connection with the gathering. One case is being investigated by the Bukit Aman Classified Crime Unit, while the other three have been referred to the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia over the use of drones. Investigations are being carried out under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act; Section 504 of the Penal Code; and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

KUALA TERENGGANU: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has arrested three local authority staff in Terengganu for allegedly accepting bribes amounting to RM25,000 in exchange for facilitating building plan approvals. The suspects, comprising two men and a woman in their 40s and 50s, were detained at 2.30pm yesterday when they turned up at the Terengganu MACC office to have their statements recorded. Magistrate Yuhanis Mohd Roslan granted a six-day remand order after the MACC filed an application at the Kuala Terengganu magistrate's court this morning. A source said the trio are believed to have committed the offences between 2015 and 2019. "They are suspected of receiving various sums totalling RM25,000, channelled into their personal bank accounts via fund transfers from a private company," the source said. The arrests were made following the detention of a government agency director in January over a separate RM900,000 graft case. Terengganu MACC director Hazrul Shazreen Abd Yazid, when contacted, confirmed the arrests and said the case is being investigated under Section 17(a) of the MACC Act 2009. He said more arrests may follow as investigations progress.

Miri district police chief ACP Mohd Farhan Lee Abdullah said in the first case, a man in his 30s received a phone call on July 24 from an individual claiming to be from the Perlis state police headquarters, alleging that his name had been linked to a money laundering syndicate. 'The victim's call was subsequently redirected to a man who introduced himself as a police officer from the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters. The suspect then instructed the victim to withdraw money from his account and transfer it to a third-party account provided by the suspect,' he said in a statement today. Mohd Farhan said the victim only realised he had been duped after becoming suspicious of the suspect's demands, prompting him to lodge a police report. 'The total loss incurred by the victim is estimated at RM79,000,' he added. In the second case, the victim, in his 20s, had come across a Facebook post on July 26 by an individual named 'Yen Ni' advertising cheap vehicles repossessed by banks. 'The victim was interested and initiated contact with the suspect via Facebook Marketplace, before further communication took place through WhatsApp,' said Mohd Farhan. He said the suspect, who claimed to be a representative of Sabrina Motor Group in Bintulu, later sent the victim a website link ( which displayed images of a black 2016 Toyota Harrier. 'The victim expressed interest in purchasing the vehicle and was asked to make a deposit and cover the costs of ownership transfer,' he said. However, the victim became suspicious when asked to make further payments for unreasonable purposes and realised he had been scammed. Mohd Farhan said the victim suffered a loss of RM7,000 in the incident. Both cases are being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. He advised the public to remain vigilant and not to trust advertisements that promise high returns or deals that seem too good to be true. Members of the public are urged to verify the legitimacy of any investment or transaction through official channels such as Bank Negara Malaysia's Financial Consumer Alert List ( and the Securities Commission Malaysia's Investor Alert List ( 'If you have just made a fund transfer to a mule account or scam syndicate, contact the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) immediately by dialling 997,' he added.
