'Wrong moves': Silat instructor claims trial to sexual assault of male students
KOTA BARU: A silat instructor pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court here today to four charges of sexually assaulting three male students aged 15 and 17. Faizul Yusoff, 54, was charged with two counts of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy in a hotel room at Kampung Semut Api Badang, Jalan Pantai Cahaya Bulan (PCB), at 9pm on Feb 13 and again at 3am on Feb 14, 2025. He also faces a charge of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old boy at a homestay in Kampung Talang Kadok at 1am on Nov 13, 2023. Additionally, he is accused of committing a similar offence involving another 17-year-old victim at a homestay in Kubang Golok, Bachok, at 3am on Jan 28 this year. Faizul was charged under Sections 14(a) and 14(b) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which provides for imprisonment of up to 20 years and whipping, upon conviction. Deputy Public Prosecutor Kamarul Hasyime Rosli appeared for the prosecution, while the accused was represented by Nur Alyaa Mohd Zain from the Kelantan Legal Aid Foundation. Earlier, Kamarul Hasyime objected to bail on grounds of the seriousness of the charges. However, Nur Alyaa requested for minimal bail, citing that her client has no fixed income as he works solely as a silat instructor and is supporting five children. Judge Zulkifli Abdullah granted bail at RM10,000 for each charge with one surety, and ordered the accused not to interfere with the victims. He was also instructed to report to the nearest police station once a month. The court set July 27 for mention.
