Tyre company, directors charged for using fake Sirim stickers on 107 retreaded tyres
The company, Yik Woh Tyre Enterprise Sdn Bhd, represented by its directors Yip Wei Leong and Yip Wing Kee as the accused, pleaded not guilty before Judge Ahmad Fuad Othman.
According to the charge, the company, Wei Leong, 43, and Wing Kee, 70, were, in the course of trade, found to have made false representations by using Sirim MS 224:2005 logo stickers on 107 retreated tyres of various brands and sizes for supply without the approval of Sirim.
The offence was allegedly committed at No. 11, 13 and 15, Jalan Meranti 11, Meranti Jaya Industrial Park, Puchong, at about 11.30am on February 13.
The charges against the two directors were framed under Section 21(b) of the Trade Descriptions Act 2011, which carries a maximum fine of RM200,000 or imprisonment of up to three years, or both, upon conviction. For a second or subsequent offence, the penalty is a maximum fine of RM500,000 or imprisonment of up to five years, or both.
Meanwhile, the company was charged under Section 21(a) of the same law, which provides for a fine of up to RM500,000, and for a second or subsequent offence, a maximum fine of RM1 million.
The prosecution was conducted by deputy public prosecutor Mohd Hafizi Abdul Halim and prosecuting officer Nur Abyan Anuar from the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN), while the accused were represented by lawyer Aaron Chang.
Earlier, Mohd Hafizi applied for both men to be granted bail of RM20,000 each. However, Chang requested a reduction on the grounds of one of the accused's age and the good cooperation they had provided.
The court set bail at RM10,000 in one surety each accused and fixed September 25 for mention. — Bernama

Justice for Zara Qairina must not be tied to boycotting Merdeka, says Fahmi
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 — Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil today urged Malaysians not to boycott Merdeka celebrations over the death of schoolgirl Zara Qairina Mahathir. He stressed that the case is already being investigated by police and an inquest has been requested, BH Online reported this afternoon. 'Merdeka is a national event and I encourage us to celebrate it. I too want justice for Zara, I too want justice for Faris, and I too want justice for Syamsul,' he was quoted as saying at a cultural programme in Pantai Dalam today. The death of 13-year-old Zara, a SMKA Tun Mustapha student in Papar, Sabah, after an alleged bullying incident has sparked public outrage nationwide and renewed calls for safer schools. Police in Bukit Aman have since taken over the case. The two other names mentioned by Fahmi refer to a tahfiz student Wan Ahmad Faris Wan Abdul Rahman who was found dead in the school toilet in Kok Lanas, Kelantan 12 years ago. Syamsul Haris Shamsudin was a Universiti Teknologi Malaysia student who died during basic army training as a cadet in the Reserve Officers Training Unit (Palapes) in Ulu Tiram, Johor, on July 28. 'We don't want bullying to become something that drags on. The laws are there, action is being taken with Bukit Aman now leading the investigation into Zara Qairina's case,' Fahmi was qoted as saying. Her inquest is scheduled to start in Kota Kinabalu tomorrow, her family lawyers Hamid Ismail and Shahlan Jufri confirmed today. Fahmi stressed that justice takes time, pointing to the case of Bella, a young girl with Down Syndrome, as an example. 'We know the process of justice does take time. In Bella's case, it took a while but in the end we saw justice being served. I believe we will also get justice here,' he said. Fahmi also cautioned against using tragedies for political gain. 'Let us not build castles over a grave. Let us not use this to popularise ourselves. What we want is justice,' he was quoted as saying.
