‘I'll take care of her', says man who allegedly kicked, beat pregnant wife; court denies bail
KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 — A man pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to a charge of injuring his wife by kicking and beating her with a rubber hose last month.
Daniel Kenneth Abdullah, 35, was charged with voluntarily causing hurt to his 24-year-old wife by kicking her left leg and striking her with a rubber hose on various parts of her body.
The offence was allegedly committed at their apartment in Bandar Sri Permaisuri here at 9pm on April 30. He was charged under Section 324 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 326A of the same Code.
Section 324 provides for a maximum prison term of 10 years, or a fine, or whipping, or any two of these punishments, while Section 326A allows for the sentence to be doubled, if convicted.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohamad Ikhwan Mohd Nasir objected to bail, stating that the offence is non-bailable and expressing concern that the victim might be living in fear as she still resides with the accused.
Daniel, who was unrepresented, appealed for bail, expressing remorse for his actions and promising to take care of his two children, aged four months and one year, as well as his wife, who is currently pregnant.
Judge Zulqarnain Hassan denied bail and set June 9 for mention and document submission. — Bernama

Shafee lodges police report against ex-AG over royal addendum
Najib Razak's lawyer, Shafee Abdullah, alleged that former attorney-general Ahmad Terrirudin Salleh had 'deliberately misled' the High Court over the royal addendum issue. KUALA LUMPUR : Najib Razak's lawyer has lodged a police report against former attorney-general Ahmad Terrirudin Salleh for allegedly 'deliberately misleading' the High Court that the royal addendum was speculative and based on hearsay evidence. At a press conference after lodging the report at the Dang Wangi police headquarters here today, Shafee Abdullah claimed that Terrirudin had committed an offence under Section 209 of the Penal Code, which relates to dishonestly making a false claim before a court. Shafee alleged that Terrirudin had also committed an offence under Section 204 of the Penal Code by hiding a document with the intention of preventing it from being used as evidence in court. He said he had lodged the police report on behalf of Najib, who had not received any response from the authorities after the former prime minister requested to lodge the report personally. Last month, Najib filed an application to initiate contempt proceedings against Terrirudin. His legal team, Messrs Shafee & Co, claimed that Terrirudin, while serving as the attorney-general, failed to reveal the former king's royal addendum allowing Najib to serve the remainder of his jail sentence under house arrest. During a hearing in January, Shafee told the Court of Appeal the addendum was sent by the Pahang palace to Terrirudin on Jan 29, 2024.
