Teens plead guilty to injuring former Dang Wangi police chief

Three teenagers pleaded guilty in the Kuala Lumpur Magistrate’s Court to injuring former Dang Wangi district police chief Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman during an eviction operation in Kampung Sungai Baru three months ago.

Magistrate Nurfarahain Roslan set Feb 4 for sentencing, pending the preparation of a character report for a 16-year-old among the three.

According to the charge, the teenager was accused of voluntarily causing hurt to intimidate Sulizmie while he was carrying out his duties as the commanding officer.

The offence was allegedly committed at Jalan Datuk Abdul Malik, Kampung Sungai Baru, Kuala Lumpur, between 10.50am and 11.14am on Sept 11, under Section 332 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of three years, a fine, or both.

In today’s proceedings, the accused, along with six others, was also charged in a separate magistrate’s court with participating in an unlawful assembly to oppose the eviction notice despite being ordered to disperse at the same time, date and place.

The prosecution was filed under Section 145 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of two years, a fine, or both.

Magistrate Nurul Izzah Hasan Basri imposed a RM3,500 fine or six months’ jail on Sopirman Yunus, 31; Redzuan Kamal Abdul Rahman, 19; Fallah Islahudden Shah Abdul Fattah, 20; and Azhar Salleh, 36, after they pleaded guilty to the charge.

Another accused, Ariffin Abu Bakar, 56, however, pleaded not guilty, and the court granted bail of RM2,800 with one surety, with mention set for Feb 4.

Meanwhile, for the two underaged accused who also pleaded guilty, the court fixed Feb 4 for sentencing to allow for the preparation of character reports. Both teenagers, aged 16 and 17, were granted bail of RM500 each with one surety.

Today’s proceedings were held in camera as they involved minors.

Deputy public prosecutors Joshua Tee and Nurul Farhanah Arul Hisham prosecuted, while lawyers Farith Emier Farhan Mormi, Najib Ahmad, and Nur Asniqeen Sultan appeared for the defence.

On Sept 11, the media reported that several individuals were arrested in connection with Sulizmie’s injuries during the operation in Kampung Sungai Baru.

He was reported to have sustained a head injury after being struck by an object thrown by an unidentified individual while managing the situation during an operation to disconnect the electricity supply to several houses in the area.

The operation was carried out following a court order related to the demolition of several homes in the locality.
