Suspects in RM2.1mil gang robbery plead not guilty
KUALA LUMPUR: Two men pleaded not guilty to a charge of gang robbery involving losses amounting to RM2.1mil last month. Mohd Syaqir Mohd Ami, aged 30, and Nur Mohamed Mahsar Mohamed Nor, aged 34, were jointly charged with two other individuals, who remain at large, for committing a gang robbery against property belonging to a 31-year-old Chinese national, Chen Kexue. The assets include a branded wristwatch worth RM1.2mil, three gold bars weighing 300 grammes, RM100,000 in cash and five mobile phones of various brands, worth an estimated RM2,146,000. The act was allegedly committed at a villa in Bukit Damansara here at 10.10pm on July 21. The charge was framed under Section 395 of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of up to 20 years and whipping if convicted. Deputy public prosecutor Nidzuan Abdul Latif did not offer bail because the offence is non-bailable, Bernama reported. DPP Nidzuan also urged the court to take into account the seriousness of the offence and the significant financial losses involved. 'There is a risk of the accused fleeing because during the arrest, one of them tried to escape. 'However, if the court grants bail, I request that each accused be granted RM60,000, along with additional conditions that they must report to the nearest police station and surrender their passports to the court,' DPP Nidzuan said. Sessions Court judge Siti Shakirah Mohtarudin granted bail of RM15,000 to each accused, along with additional conditions requested by the prosecution. The court set Sept 30 for mention.

Two friends deny robbing Chinese national of RM2.1m in Kuala Lumpur
KUALA LUMPUR: Two friends have denied charges of robbing a Chinese national of RM2.1 million in a high-profile case. Mohd Syaqir Mohd Ami, 30, and Nur Mohamed Mahsar Mohamed Nor, 34, appeared in the Sessions Court today. They were accused alongside two others still at large of targeting Chen Kexue, 31, in Bukit Damansara. The stolen items included a RM1.2 million wristwatch, gold bars, cash, and mobile phones. The alleged robbery occurred on July 21 at a villa in Bukit Damansara. The charge falls under Section 395 of the Penal Code, carrying up to 20 years in prison and whipping. Deputy Public Prosecutor Nidzuan Abdul Latif opposed bail, citing the severity of the offence. He argued that the accused might flee, as one had attempted escape during arrest. If bail was granted, he requested RM60,000 each with strict reporting conditions. Defence lawyer Hazwan Hassan sought lower bail, citing his clients' financial struggles. Mohd Syaqir earns RM2,000 monthly and supports his mother battling cancer. He recently recovered from paralysis after an accident last year. Nur Mohamed Mahsar also earns RM2,000 and supports his wife and two children. The lawyer assured the court there was no flight risk. Judge Siti Shakirah Mohtarudin set bail at RM15,000 each with additional conditions. The case will next be mentioned on September 30. - Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 8 — Two friends pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to a charge of gang robbery against property belonging to a female Chinese national, involving losses amounting RM2.1 million, last month. Mohd Syaqir Mohd Ami, 30, and Nur Mohamed Mahsar Mohamed Nor, 34, were jointly charged with two other individuals who are still at large with committing gang robbery against property belonging to Chen Kexue, 31. The assets include a branded wristwatch worth RM1.2 million, three gold bars weighing 300 grammes, RM100,000 in cash, and five mobile phones of various brands, with an estimated loss of RM2,146,000, at a villa in Bukit Damansara here, at 10.10pm on July 21. The charge was brought under Section 395 of the Penal Code, which provides for a prison sentence of up to 20 years and whipping, if convicted. Deputy Public Prosecutor Nidzuan Abdul Latif did not offer bail because the offence is non-bailable, and also requested the court to consider the offence serious, involving high losses. 'If the court grants bail, there is a risk of the accused fleeing because during the arrest, one of the accused tried to escape. 'However, if the court grants bail, I request that each accused be granted bail of RM60,000 along with the additional condition that they must report to the nearest police station and surrender their passports to the court,' he said. Lawyer Hazwan Hassan, representing the two men, requested the court to grant his clients bail between RM10,000 and RM15,000 with certain additional conditions, as bail is only to ensure the accused's attendance in court. Mohd Syaqir works as a salesman and earns RM2,000 per month. He supports his mother, who has stage four cancer, and he just recovered from paralysis after being involved in an accident in August last year. 'Meanwhile, Nur Mohamed Mahsar, who also works as a salesman and earns RM2,000 a month, has to support his wife and two young children,' the lawyer said, adding that there was no risk of the two accused fleeing. Judge Siti Shakirah Mohtarudin, who set the case mention for September 30, granted bail of RM15,000 to each accused, along with additional conditions requested by the prosecution. — Bernama
