Man jailed for retaining stolen motorcycle

Posted: 17 Feb 2014 09:16 AM PST

KOTA KINABALU: The Magistrate's Court here sentenced a 22-year-old man to six months' imprisonment for retaining a stolen motorcycle.

Magistrate Ryan Sagirann Rayner Jr imposed the sentence on Fazzlan Mailan after he pleaded guilty to the charge.

He admitted to retaining the stolen motorcycle belonging to Muhamad Johan Abas, 26, on January 19, at 9pm in front of Masjid Jamek in Kampung Likas here. The offence under Section 411 of the Penal Code is punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to five years, or with fine, or both, upon conviction.

In a related case, Mohd Raqib Abdul Karim denied possession of a stolen handbag and watch on May 15, 2013 at Condo Apartment in Menggatal under the same provision of the Penal Code.

The court fixed March 3, this year for his case management and ordered the accused to be further remanded under police custody, pending disposal of his case.

Prosecuting officer Inspector Syahrin Ali had objected to granting of bail for Mohd Raqib on the grounds that he faces five other charges under the same section.

Meanwhile, the same court fined Melvin Mawan @ Bernard, 35, RM25 in default, two days' jail for uttering threatening words to his 30-year-old colleague.

The accused admitted to threatening the man by saying "Awas kau, kalau kau buat laporan polis, saya akan pukul kau lagi di tempat kerja" (You watch out, if you make a police report, I will whack you again at work) on January 14, this year at 11.05pm at a supermarket in Jalan Gaya.

The supermarket supervisor had committed the act out of displeasure at the victim over work related issues.

He was charged under Section 8 (1) (e) of the Minor Ordinance which carries a maximum fine of RM25, in default, seven days' jail.

Liew’s application dismissed

KOTA KINABALU: The High Court here yesterday dismissed with costs the application for leave for judicial review made by senior politician Datuk Liew Vui Keong.

Liew had named the Registrar of Societies (ROS) as first respondent, and Datuk Teo Chee Kang and Datuk Chin Su Phin as second and third respondents respectively.

In dismissing the leave application, Justice Stephen Chung Hian Guan ordered Liew to pay cost of RM2,000 each, to the three respondents.

Counsels Dato' Rakhbir Singh and Roland Cheng acted for Liew, while Senior Federal Counsel Rahazlan Affandi Abdul Rahim was for the first respondent, with counsels Datuk Roderick Fernandez and Alvin Leong for the second and third respondents respectively. Liew was absent for the hearing here yesterday.

The application was filed on January 28, this year to revoke a decision made by the ROS in endorsing the current Liberal Democratic Party's (LDP) leadership.

Liew had sought a declaration that the ROS had acted ultra vires against the Societies Act on the 'purported' Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on October 19 and 20, last year.

Secondly, he claimed that the subsequent 'illegal' party elections conducted by the opposing faction was null and void, and also that the ROS letter issued on January 7, this year as unlawful and void.

Liew asked for an order of certiorari to quash the first respondent's decision made which endorsed the current LDP Supreme Council line-up, with both elected and appointed council members. He also sought an injunction, amongst others, to stop the second and third respondents from carrying out their duties as president and deputy president respectively, under the name of the party.

In the application, Liew had also demanded an order of mandamus to oblige the ROS to serve a notice under Section 16 of the Societies Act 1966.

Liew had said then that what he was fighting for was a just and legitimate cause whereby he felt that the ROS hd acted outside their powers to which, if not rectified, would set a dangerous precedent for other registered societies in the country.

He had also said then that he was filing the application in his capacity as the president of LDP.
