Florianus Jeky Chen, 25, Shu Chian, 22, and Asrul, 21, made the plea after the charge against them was read before Magistrate Mason Jaro Lenya Barayan. The trio was charged under Section 4B(a) of the Common Gaming House Act 1953 read together with Section 34 of the Penal Code, which provides a fine of between RM10,000 and RM100,000 for each gambling machine seized, and a jail term of not more than five years, upon conviction.

Investigations confirmed that all three individuals were involved in facilitating online gambling, with a forensic gambling expert also verifying that the confiscated devices were used as gambling machines. Meanwhile in the Sessions Court, Florianus and Asrul were each sentenced to three months' imprisonment and one stroke of the cane for illegally entering Malaysia. Sessions Court Judge Saiful Bahari Adzmi convicted the duo on their own guilty plea to a charge under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63, punishable under Section 6(3) of the same Act. Florianus and Asrul were found to have committed the offence following their arrest during the Op Dadu raid, when checks by police with the Immigration Department showed no valid record of the pair entering Malaysia.

Judge Izralizam Sanusi ordered Muhamad Haffiz Mohd Radzi, 35, Mohd Fahmee Mohamad Nor, 43, and former officer Azwan Asli, 40, to be freed on Monday (Aug 4) after finding that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against them.

Judge Izralizam said that based on the victim's testimony, he did not feel afraid of the three accused during the incident, as he claimed he had not committed any offence. "There is no evidence that the victim was threatened with a firearm by the three men, even though he alleged that one of them was carrying a firearm in his backpack,' said the judge, adding that the existence of the alleged firearm was not proven during the trial.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court acquitted and discharged three Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers, including a former officer, of gang robbery charges after the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case. Judge Izralizam Sanusi ruled that the evidence did not support the allegations, leading to the officers' release without a defence being called. The accused—Muhamad Haffiz Mohd Radzi, 35, Mohd Fahmee Mohamad Nor, 43, and former officer Azwan Asli, 40—were charged in December 2023 with robbing a man named Kun Gao of cash, a silver suitcase, and a black Louis Vuitton bag. The alleged incident occurred at a condominium on Jalan Ampang in December 2021. Judge Izralizam noted that the victim's police report indicated the officers' presence was linked to a money laundering investigation. While the victim claimed he felt threatened, the court found no proof of wrongful restraint or use of a firearm. 'The actions were within the scope of MACC duties,' the judge stated.
