Archery coach claims trial to sexually assaulting 15-year-old girl
KLANG: An archery coach claimed trial to charges of sexually assaulting and engaging in carnal intercourse without consent with a 15-year-old girl last week. Mohd Faizul Md Taib, 39, entered his non-guilty plea after the charge was read out to him before Sessions Court judge Siti Aminah Ghazali. The father of one was charged with sexually assaulting the girl, an offence under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act which provides a 20-year jail term and whipping upon conviction. He also faces a separate charge of committing carnal intercourse without consent against the victim under Section 377C of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term not less than five years and up to 20 years, and whipping upon conviction.

Deputy public prosecutor Nuruljannah Aimi offered bail at RM15,000 with one surety, along with additional conditions prohibiting the accused or his representatives from harassing the victim. In mitigation, lawyer Daneish Thayalan said his client earns RM4,000 a month as an archery coach and is supporting his wife and child. "He is also covering the medical expenses of his father, who is a diabetic and has hypertension. "Therefore, I ask for a lower bail sum. He has no issues with reporting to the police station monthly," he said. Siti Aminah set bail at RM10,000 with one surety and allowed the prosecution's additional conditions. The court set Aug 19 for mention.

TEMERLOH: The car driver involved in a road crash that resulted in the death of two teenage girls was charged in the Magistrate's Court here today with trafficking more than 50 grammes of Methamphetamine last week. Chun Kok Keong (pix), 38, of Kepong, Kuala Lumpur, is charged with committing the offence in front of the lobby of the Temerloh District Police Headquarters at about 12.30 am on June 12 this year. The charge, under Section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, provides the death penalty or life imprisonment and not less than 15 strokes of the cane in the absence of the death penalty, upon conviction. No plea was recorded from Chun, who works as a customer service officer, after the charge was read out before Magistrate Tan Chiew King, as the case is under the jurisdiction of the High Court. Chun was also charged with possessing heroin weighing about 0.85 grammes at the same location and time under Section 12(2) of the same act. He pleaded not guilty to the charge, which provides a maximum fine of RM100,000 or imprisonment for up to five years, or both, upon conviction. The court allowed him bail of RM4,500 with one surety for the charge and set Sept 18 for mention. Deputy public prosecutors Adriana Azrin and Siti Sarah Aqilah Lokman appeared for the prosecution, while Chun was represented by lawyer Siti Fatimah Mohd Shahril, from the National Legal Aid Foundation. In the same court, Chun also pleaded not guilty to two charges of dangerous driving, which resulted in the death of Nur Erdina Shaffiya Muhammad Nazri and Aneez Irdiena Sofya Khairul Azman, both aged 18, at the traffic lights on Jalan Tengku Ismail, here at 10.50 pm, on June 11 this year. The charge, under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333), provides imprisonment for up to 10 years and a maximum fine of RM50,000 if convicted.
