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.

Bubble trouble: Tealive sorry for info leak after complaint
Published on: Friday, July 25, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 25, 2025 By: FMT Reporters Text Size: For illustrative purposes only. PETALING JAYA: Tealive has apologised for the alleged leak of a customer's personal information, pledging to review and strengthen its internal procedures to prevent a repeat of such an incident. The customer in question had initially made a complaint about the service at one of the bubble tea brand's outlets in the capital. Tealive said that in line with its standard process, the case was handed over to the area manager responsible for the outlet to reach out to the customer and take the appropriate action. It said a screenshot of the feedback containing the customer's contact information was inadvertently shared with the outlet team, leading a staff member to reach out to the customer directly. 'Such conduct is a violation of our standard operating procedures and does not reflect the values we uphold as a brand,' it said in a statement. 'Although we have contacted the affected customer privately, we would also like to take this opportunity to publicly express our sincere apologies. 'Despite this being an isolated case, we sincerely regret what has transpired. Rest assured, we are dedicated to protecting our customers' personal data, to be in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations.' In a video posted on Instagram yesterday, the customer alleged that the outlet staff did not follow proper SOPs regarding hygiene and took too long to prepare his order, despite several employees chatting and using their mobile phones. He claimed a woman he did not know reached out to him via WhatsApp about the complaint to defend the staffs' behaviour, and was hostile to him in the conversation. 'How is Tealive headquarters carrying out their job and leaking information of customers who complain in this manner? And who is this woman?' he said. Tealive said a thorough inquiry would be conducted and the appropriate disciplinary action taken against the staff involved. It said it would immediately review and strengthen its internal procedures to prevent a recurrence, and ensure ongoing training for all employees to reinforce the importance of privacy and customer care. - FMT * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Art museum owner fined RM300k for illegal wildlife parts possession
KUALA LUMPUR: An art museum owner has been fined RM300,000 by the Sessions Court for illegally possessing protected wildlife parts without a licence. Yiu Shoou Rang, 66, pleaded guilty to eight amended charges and was also sentenced to nine months' imprisonment if he failed to pay the fine, which he later settled. The charges included possession of an orangutan skull, two estuarine crocodile skulls, and seven elephant tusks—all fully protected species under the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010. The offences took place at a business premises in Central Market, Jalan Hang Kasturi, on January 8, 2024. Yiu also faced four additional charges for possessing 150 wild boar parts, 10 porcupine quills, and six sambar deer parts without a valid licence. These offences fall under Section 60(1)(a) of the Wildlife Conservation Act, which carries penalties of up to RM50,000 in fines or three years' imprisonment. Deputy public prosecutor Suhaila Rashid pushed for a deterrent sentence, while defence counsel Teh See Khoon argued for leniency, stating the items were part of an Orang Asli collection meant for museum display. Five other charges were taken into consideration by the court. - Bernama
