He is accused of committing the three offences at the same place, between Dec 17, 2015 and May 16, 2016.

Judge Allaudeen Ismail set RM20,000 as bail with one surety, and April 30 for next mention.

The court also impounded the accused’s passport pending disposal of the case, fixed for hearing from Nov 7 for 16 days.
