Two salesmen claim trial to robbing woman of RM2.1 million
KUALA LUMPUR: Two salesmen claimed trial at the Sessions Court here today to a joint charge of robbing a woman from China of valuables worth over RM2.1 million, including a luxury watch, gold bars and cash, last month. Mohd Syaqir Mohd Ami, 30, and Nur Mohamed Mahsar Mohamed Nor, 34, who stood in the dock together with their heads bowed during proceedings, entered their plea before judge Siti Shakirah Mohtarudin. They were accused of robbing 31-year-old housewife, Chen Kexue, with two others at large, of a white Richard Mille watch worth RM1.2 million, three gold bars weighing 300 grammes, RM100,000 in cash and five handphones, all valued at RM2,146,000. The alleged offence occurred at 10.10pm at a house in Bukit Damansara on July 21. The charge under Section 395 of the Penal Code carries a maximum 20-year jail term and whipping upon conviction. Earlier, the duo were escorted into the court complex by investigators from the Brickfields police headquarters' Criminal Investigation Department's Special Investigation Division. While waiting for proceedings to begin, the duo seated in the dock were seen chatting with family members who sat directly behind them in the public gallery. Deputy public prosecutor Nidzuan Abdul Latif did not offer bail as the offence was non-bailable. He emphasised the severity of the offence, which provides a jail term of above 10 years, and considering the case's exorbitant losses. "They had allegedly committed the offence with two others who are still at large, and they cannot be located yet. "There is a risk of the accused absconding if the court grants bail. One of the accused, Mahsar, had tried to flee to evade arrest," he said. The prosecutor said if the court wanted to use its discretion to allow bail, it should be set at RM60,000 and above, with one surety for each accused. He also suggested additional conditions, including the accused surrendering their passports to the court and to report to the police station monthly. "The prosecution stands by our stance that no bail should be given," he said. Defence lawyer Hazwan Hassan urged the court to consider a bail of between RM10,000 and RM15,000 for each accused with additional conditions. He said the accused pledged to attend each court proceeding and were not deemed as flight risks. He said Syaqir, who earns RM2,000 monthly, was engaged to be married at the end of this year. "He has just recovered from an accident in August last year, which left him paralysed. He is still undergoing rehabilitation for back and leg issues. He is also supporting his cancer-stricken mother," he said. As for Mahsar, Hazwan said he was a father of two, also earning RM2,000 a month, was supporting his family and aged mother and had anterior cruciate ligament injury. "The case of Mahsar attempting to flee is isolated. He was hauled to court today to face the charge. He is not a flight risk," he said. Hazwan said the prosecution's proposed bail sum was huge for his clients and was akin to punishment. After hearing both parties, Shakirah allowed bail at RM15,000 with one surety for each accused. She also ordered them to surrender their passports to the court and report to the police station monthly. She also set Sept 30 for mention.
