Cleaner pleads not guilty to stealing gold chain and coin bank
MELAKA: A cleaner pleaded not guilty at the Ayer Keroh magistrate's court here today to stealing a gold chain and a coin bank last month.
Muhammad Syafiq Mohamad Izhar, 30, made the plea before magistrate Sharda Shienha Mohd Suleiman.
The accused, along with another individual still at large, is alleged to have stolen a gold chain belonging to the late wife of the complainant, as well as a coin bank containing RM15,060, at a house in Taman Pandan Jaya 1, Balai Panjang, on April 22.
He faces charges under Section 380 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34 of the same act. If convicted, he could face a jail term of up to 10 years, a fine, or both.
For subsequent offences, he may also face caning in addition to imprisonment and a fine.
Deputy public prosecutor Hanis Aliah Ahmad Kamarulnajuib proposed a RM6,000 bail, while defence lawyer Umar Zulkarnain requested a lower amount, citing that the accused has a fixed address in Melaka and is unlikely to abscond.
The defence also said Syafiq's wife would post the bail and that he was willing to comply with additional conditions, including reporting to a nearby police station as requested by the prosecution.
Sharda Shienha set bail at RM3,000 and fixed June 18 for the next mention for document submission.

Gerik bus crash: Teacher investigated over offensive comments made on victims
IPOH: An investigation is underway against a teacher accused of posting offensive remarks about the tragic accident that claimed the lives of 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris students on the East-West Highway in Gerik. Manjung OCPD Asst Comm Hasbullah Abd Rahman said a police report was filed on Wednesday (June 11) at about 4.40pm concerning a Facebook post by a user named "Khalid Yunus," which contained distasteful comments regarding the university students involved in the fatal crash. The case is being investigated under Section 504 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act, he stated on Thursday (June 12). He also urged the public not to share content that could cause distress or disrupt public peace. The Facebook post sparked public outrage after alleging that the 15 students died in disgrace. It further claimed that the victims were not among the faithful, as they had passed away while still owing debt to the National Higher Education Fund Corporation. The post has since been deleted, and the teacher involved has issued a public apology, claiming to suffer from schizophrenia. Perak education, higher education, youth and sports committee chairman Khairudin Abu Hanipah said on Wednesday (June 11) that initial investigations confirmed the Facebook account responsible for the insensitive post belonged to a teacher at the school. The state Education Department has instructed the school where the teacher is believed to teach to prepare a full report on the matter.
